Infinity Pool & Outdoor Kitchen Villa

This design started with one decision: the pool would not just be something you look at, it would be somewhere you stay. The rectangular infinity-edge pool has submerged loungers built directly into the water, so on a hot afternoon you can lie half-immersed with a drink rather than retreating indoors. Side sunbeds along the deck complete the resort feel.

Behind the pool we placed the second heart of the design, a modern pergola with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, dining table and bar seating. It turns the garden into a place where a family can host a whole evening without going inside: cooking, eating, and ending up back at the water's edge.

The surfaces hold everything together. Large-format light porcelain paving runs across the pool deck, stepping-stone paths connect the zones, and neatly manicured lawn softens the geometry. The villa's floor-to-ceiling glass means the garden reads as an extension of the living room, and we planted accordingly: mature palms for height, flowering shrubs and ornamental grasses layered beneath for privacy and texture.

As the sun drops, warm ambient lighting takes over and the whole space shifts into its second life as an evening entertaining venue. It is the closest thing to a private resort we can build behind a villa wall.
