Pulled from LUXE’s regional features, these refreshingly original outdoor retreats are as distinctive as their locations.

A Unique Midwest Marvel
The blue plaster and tile of this Illinois pool “reflects the deep, rich color of adjacent Lake Michigan,” notes landscape architect Sara Furlan. The surrounding multi-level terrace, which features limestone plank paving, accommodates outdoor dining and lounging.
