The Madnick film — pool, deck, and fire lounge, told by the people who use it.

Long rectangular pool and dark paver deck at the Madnick residence
Project overview

A narrow yard, used end to end.

The Madnick lot gives you length rather than width: a strip of yard between the house and a rising hillside. So the pool takes the length — a long rectangular shell with a shallow sun ledge and steps at the near end, set in dark large-format pavers that run right up to the house wall.

At the far end the deck opens into a lounge built around a round gas fire feature, with sectional seating and chaises on the pool side. Along the hill edge, a stucco retaining wall carries a horizontal redwood slat fence and a strip of lawn — which is what turns a slope you had to look at into a boundary you barely notice.

  • Long rectangular pool with sun ledge and entry steps.
  • Dark large-format paver deck from house wall to pool edge.
  • Round gas fire feature with sectional lounge seating.
  • Stucco retaining wall along the hillside edge.
  • Horizontal redwood slat fence and vinyl privacy screening.
  • Lawn strip and planting between wall and deck.
