An exquisite water curtain creating rainwall visual and sound effects punctuates a distinct swimming pool created in Des Peres.    Homeowner Mark Lucido says when the house was built during 2023, his family desired a different swimming pool setup to match the home, all on one level. “The pool flows continuously from the house. And it has seams between the tiles, so no drain areas are seen from the top,” he explains.   

A geometric-shaped pool that reflected the architecture of the home and also integrated well with the overall landscape and fit into a small footprint was the main objective for this pool project. The homeowners worked with The Pool Specialists to create a summer splash spot that would include a section for lap swimming, an area for socializing and a tanning shelf where their small grandchildren could play safely.

Elevating the outdoor lifestyle of Kelly and Kevin Peck’s family is a new, in-ground pool constructed for their nearly 100-year-old home in Clayton’s Hillcrest community. "We feel extremely fortunate to have found a home with a level back yard and enough room for a full-size pool,” says Kelly. “We kept the pool design simple to match the historic nature of our house and neighborhood.” She adds the pool has plenty of shallow space for entertaining and games with their two children. 

Wine coolers offer the perfect solution for wine connoisseurs who are looking to add a unique architectural element to their home. Often built into living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms or basements, these additions offer an energy efficient, aesthetically pleasing way to store wine at the proper temperature.

Nosara, Costa Rica

On a hillside in Costa Rica is the Loma Sagrada House, an eco-friendly construction project created to transform a previously livestock-ravaged land. Characterized by its open walls, rectangular shape and reinforced beams, the home looks like it’s completely immersed in the surrounding environment.

Classic

Wicker furniture is forever classic, and not just because it has been around for centuries. From rattan to caned pieces, wicker furniture adds natural texture to a space. I love finding vintage wicker pieces that have a hand made quality as opposed to newer, more modern and uniform styles. Meagan Cooperman, C&M Interiors
