This was the first substantial project that Steve Yett completed on his own.“The client originally hired me to design a deck on the other side of the property. Then one day they told me that they had two separate designs for pools approved, but they didn’t particularly like either one of them. And they asked if I could come up a third design, of course maintaining all of the agency approvals that were already in place for the other two designs.... And of course those approvals were going to expire in two weeks!”
“Talking to the client, it didn’t seem like the pool was going to be used on a daily basis. I decided that the pool needed to also serve as a sculptural element - more than most.”
