Outdoor Lap Pools, Tubs, Showers Walkways Design Photos and Ideas

The lap pool glistens with vivid blue tiles.
Porter worked with landscape design firm Wagner Hodgson to meld the pool house interior with the exterior.
The pool house was designed and built to mimic the main house, so they feel like "a family of structures," says Porter.
"Fabio is a triathlete and wanted a lap pool, and it also serves as a sort of plunge pool for the family," Sweet says. "It has a mechanical system that essentially turns the pool into a treadmill for his training." Western red cedar was used throughout the interior ceilings, and polished concrete flooring continues outside as pavers.
A sense of privacy is conjured by the abundance of trees at the edge of the site.
The home's abundance of glass creates a peaceful dialogue between the indoors and outdoors.
