Backyard Pool for a Detached House: Lawn, Deck, and Fence

Backyard pool of a detached house: lawn, wooden deck, and fence
In the backyard of a detached house, the swimming pool is a restrained rectangular shape. On the side closer to the house, there is a wooden deck at the same height as the interior floor. The other side directly meets the lawn, with the grass growing right up to the stone coping at the pool edge, without any superfluous paving. The fence is made of vertical wooden slats arranged in an uneven rhythm, blocking neighbors' views while still allowing light to pass through. A large native tree is left in the corner of the yard, with half of its canopy extending over the water surface; falling leaves are an acceptable trade-off. Furniture consists only of two lounge chairs and a low table. In the evening's oblique light, shoot outwards from the interior's French doors, with the deck, water surface, lawn, and tree canopy forming four distinct layers. Avoid: paving the entire yard with stone, cutting down existing trees, making the fence a solid wall, or adding a large amount of poolside furniture and decorative lighting.

一戶獨棟住宅的後院,泳池是一個尺度克制的矩形,靠近房子的一側是與室內同高的木平台,另一側直接接草坪,草皮一路長到池緣的石板收邊為止,沒有多餘的鋪面。圍籬用垂直的木條做成疏密不一的節奏,擋住鄰居的視線但仍然透光。一棵原生的大喬木留在院子的角落,樹冠有一半覆蓋到水面上,落葉是可以接受的代價。家具只有兩張躺椅與一張矮桌。傍晚的斜光下從室內的落地門往外拍攝,平台、水面、草坪與樹冠構成四個層次。避免:全院鋪滿石材、砍掉既有喬木、圍籬做成實牆、加入大量池畔家具與裝飾照明。
