The Ortega

Set on the banks of the Ortega River, this pool pours over a 22-foot infinity edge that holds the water dead-level and glassy, so the river view runs straight across the surface. Stratus Blue glass subway tile wraps every vertical face — the 2x4 on the walls and edge, the 1x2 mosaic across the horizontal surfaces — glinting against a deep charcoal pebble interior that mirrors the sky. A raised spa spills back into the pool between twin planters, Shellstone tan bullnose coping frames the water, and a Tremron Sierra Mega Old Town deck steps down to a lower riverside terrace with a 10x10 cedar pergola lounge. Built on the water, for the water — this one is our own.
