Elderwood Family Yard

Project Story

A young Westfield family came to us with a simple brief: a backyard that works for the four of them — and for the next ten summers. The pool is freeform but disciplined, the deck is generous enough for chairs and bikes both, and the lawn still holds a soccer net.

Design Challenge

Build a luxury pool that genuinely works for a family with young children and a Labrador.

Lifestyle Outcome

A pool the family uses three hundred days a year — the children swim from May; the dog walks the deck in February.

Unique Feature

A six-inch tanning ledge that doubles as a toddler beach in summer and a wine-bucket shelf for parents in the evening.
