The Swimming
Pool
Book Description
An enlightened approach to pool design, The
Swimming Pool matches superb aesthetics with the
best of today’s most innovative building materials
for the ultimate guide to building your backyard
retreat. Renowned landscape designer Martha Baker
explores four popular styles—Romantic, Modern,
Classic, and Rustic—and details the key elements
that help to create a complete look. She provides
ideas for personalizing elements to match your
individual taste and accommodating practical needs.
Leading you on a guided tour of exclusive
international locales featuring pools with many
different looks and styles, she offers a wealth of
advice on:
•Identifying the right design style to complement
your property
•Siting your pool and selecting the best pool shape
•Creating poolside cooking and dining areas
•Choosing furniture that epitomizes the art of
relaxation
•Landscaping to integrate your pool with your home
and property
•Pinpointing the best accessories to pull it all
together
Reminding us that pool design should be infused with
a blend of fantasy and reality, Martha Baker
features a seductively elegant romantic pool that
conjures the image of a Spanish courtyard; an
infinity pool that takes its cue from island
traditions, perched on a hillside overlooking a
tropical harbor; and a highly sophisticated modern
pool topped with playful, oversized sculptures.
Authoritative and packed with more than 250 gorgeous
photographs, The Swimming Pool opens up a
world of unprecedented pool design.

Pool Idea Book
Book Description
Swimming pools aren't what they used to be. No
longer just rectangular blue holes surrounded by
concrete aprons, today's pools come in myriad shapes
and sizes - from square wading pools, long lap
pools, round spas, and teardrop-shaped jet pools to
elaborate naturalistic pools complete with boulders,
vanishing edges, waterfalls and lush landscaping.
Pool houses, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and patios
for entertaining may accompany them. The Pool Idea
Book showcases the latest innovations in pool and
spa design; offers creative design ideas for decks,
outbuildings, and landscaping; and addresses
practical issues such as screening, security, and
storage. It includes chapters on pool design, pool
surrounds, landscaping, outdoor rooms and
structures, and enclosures. This visual handbook
features many color photographs and illustrations,
and dozens of useful sidebars to help homeowners
design the ultimate pool for any lifestyle or
budget.
