Contemporary Gray Exterior with Vanishing Edge Pool

Outside, a swimming pool runs parallel to the terraced steps that cascade down the natural topography of the property. “By the time you swim to the end, it’s 10 feet off the ground with a vanishing edge on all three sides,” architect Fred Gemmell says, noting that the pool feeds the spa on the second level and a children’s wading pool at the bottom. “It’s a really fun, very sculptural element of the house.”
