Swimming Pool:

Thought someone might enjoy this, nothing like good post-modern design. Not kid-friendly, (it's on top of a big hill), but the guy is single so who cares:

Cool.
Is that what they call a "double negative" edge swimming pool? Ha, ha.

Is there a guest room?
Cheers

This whole deck, and the house, is really beautiful. He has almost zero flat land but he made the most of it w/ the deck. Around the corner there is a nice putting green w/ a net to hit balls into, didn't get a shot of that. Here are a couple more, the first one made me think of you, Rob.

Welcome to my humble home!

Cool pics! I've never fell "out" of a pool before

I am amazed at the engineering of that pool. It has to absolutely level all the way around to get that effect. Not so easy to do.

can't really play volleyball on that one can you?

Not a big modern architecture fan, but that's pretty sweet.

Yup. I wish I'd taken a picture of the side of it, it has a "moat" around the outside of it on the drop side and it's basically like an above ground pool w/ constant "spill-over". I think that's how the filter/pump part works, the water is constantly being cycled over the sides. The outside is finished beautifully in those small square tiles and has a perfect sheet of water flowing over it, (it's basically a fountain), no gaps or uneven splash. Incredible engineering considering the site.

In the second pic I posted, you can see the built-in bench that goes all the way around so people can just sit in the pool w/ a drink on the edge and watch the sunset over the hills and Mulholland in the summer. You can also see the spa on one end, that would be hot water/jacuzi.

Here's one more:

So, will there be a 2nd date, or was this a 1-night stand?

I love infinity pools. So awesome.

Nice infinity edge pool.....
Pretty simple detail.

This is a dream home. Can you talk him into opening up a 911 party?

Very cool. Definitely my favorite pool design. Lots of negative edge/infinity pools in AZ. Here are a few examples from homes we represent:

Couple more:

Last two (these show the different possibilities with the overflow wall):
