hrough their customized design
and build process, Designer Pools
& Outdoor Living of Austin strives
to create exterior environments that
naturally extend from and complement
their corresponding interior spaces.
Designer Pools’ recent work in the Bella
Vista community of Cedar Park was done
in conjunction with the construction
of a new home, and the end result is a
stunning example of what they do best.
Designer Caroline Murphy worked closely
with the new homeowners to ensure they
ended up with an outdoor living area to
suit all their needs and desires. “They’re
a fun family,” Murphy said, “and they
wanted the opportunity to do a lot of
entertaining outside all year long.” First
and foremost, they knew they wanted a
pool to act as the central hub for their
backyard gatherings and family time—
and as an escape from the Texas heat. To
add functionality to the space year round,
a large spa and fire pit became crucial
parts of the plan, especially for those
chilly nights and winter months.
Beyond the pool, a cedar pergola was
erected over a grill and stone-countertop
bar, complete with stainless steel storage
compartments and a mini-fridge. This
