The Arch House

Located in Des Peres, Missouri, this stunning custom gunite swimming pool and outdoor living project combines timeless architecture, modern amenities, and beautiful landscaping to create a luxurious backyard retreat. Designed to complement the home’s elegant white brick exterior, the project features a sleek rectangular swimming pool surrounded by expansive concrete decking, covered entertaining areas, and thoughtfully landscaped green spaces. The centerpiece is a custom gunite swimming pool featuring clean geometric lines, a spacious tanning ledge, wide entry steps, and decorative waterline tile. Light-colored coping provides a sophisticated contrast against the pool’s rich blue interior, while underwater LED lighting creates a beautiful nighttime atmosphere. Multiple covered patios offer comfortable outdoor seating and dining areas, while a separate pool house anchors the opposite end of the pool, creating a balanced, courtyard-like setting.

A circular stone fire pit provides an additional gathering space, surrounded by ornamental grasses, shrubs, natural stone accents, and manicured lawn areas that soften the surrounding hardscaping. The finished project seamlessly blends elegant pool design, outdoor entertaining spaces, and natural landscaping to create a private, resort-style retreat perfect for swimming, relaxing, and entertaining.
