This small rear-yard design focused on maximizing the usable space for various lounge and entertaining areas for the family.  The design includes a custom limestone fireplace, raised dining terrace, built-in pool-side planters, a curved spa that overflows into the pool and custom wrought iron fencing to meet the City of Toronto's pool bylaw. This division of space can often create an unsightly element between your home and the pool, however, by staggering the levels of the outdoor space and creating movement in the barrier, this problem is eliminated and works beautifully for this traditional design.
