Mt. Lebanon, PA
Overview
One of the most unique designs to date. This family in Mt. Lebanon had a very difficult space to work with. The area features a custom freeform Family Fun style pool with waterslide. This custom engineered 22’ Dolphin enclosed tube slide disappears right into the earth and exits you right into the crystal clear water below as scuppers flow water all around you.
The custom engineered pavilion to provide shade and protection from the elements for the swim-up bar and outdoor kitchen below. Both feature a granite countertop and the kitchen features stainless steel appliances and drawers.
The entire project was designed to fit perfectly into the existing topography boulder walls to stabilize the hillside and create more level space for the paver patios.

Features and Renderings
Freeform Family Fun Pool w/ swim up bar and waterslide
This unique freeform pool integrates a swim up bar and waterslide. The custom Family Fun pool was designed to work within the existing terrain of the property. The pool features white walls and steps with light gray handrails. The true color comes from the Slate Blue PebbleSheen from PebbleTec and the 1” x 1” Lunar Dark Blue Blend Glass and Stone tile. Four PebbleTec Trough Flow Scuppers add an element of movement to the project.
The 22’ Dolphin enclosed tube slide is created from a laminated fiberglass reinforced with a marine gelcoat. From top to bottom, it features a seven foot drop.
Pavilion
The custom 14’ x 14’ pavilion was designed with a hip roof. Shingles were selected to match the existing roof on the home. All soffit, fascia, gutters, and downspouts were also selected to match the existing home’s aesthetics. The flat ceiling is finished with Synergy Wood Products in a colonial finish.
Pool Patio with BlockHouse Steps
This project features a total of 1,845 sq. ft. of Techo-Bloc Blu 60mm smooth in greyed nickel laid out in a modular pattern. The paver border is a Unilock Courtstone in Belgian blue which adds a beautiful contrast while fitting within the overall look of the project.
The steps in this project are Blockhouse Schenley in Shale and the veneer is Living Stones Masonry in Tyre Cobblestone.
