For contemporary urban properties, the industrial aesthetic offers a chic, sophisticated, and low-maintenance approach to backyard pool design.
- How to Make It: Construct a crisp, linear lap pool framed by board-formed concrete retaining walls and poured-in-place concrete decking. Integrate sleek built-in concrete benches right into the water. Balance the raw, industrial gray tones with warm elements like custom Ipe wood slat fencing, minimalist black steel planters, and architectural architectural lighting integrated into the concrete steps.
- Tips and Variations: Add a sleek linear gas fire pit running parallel to the pool edge to introduce dynamic contrast between fire and water elements. Choose ultra-minimalist black sun loungers with clean geometric lines.
- Essential Materials: Board-formed concrete, poured concrete pavers, Ipe wood, black steel planters, linear gas burner, and modern metal loungers.
