This was the first substantial project thatSteve Yett completed on his own.“The client originally hired me to design adeck on the other side of the property. Thenone day they told me that they had twoseparate designs for pools approved, butthey didn’t particularly like either one ofthem. And they asked if I could come up athird design, of course maintaining all of theagency approvals that were already in placefor the other two designs.... And of coursethose approvals were going to expire in twoweeks!”
“Talking to the client, it didn’t seem like the pool was going to be used on a daily basis. I decided that thepool needed to also serve as a sculptural element - morethan most.”
