This Franklin Lakes, NJ backyard was designed as a luxury outdoor living space centered around a 16’ x 55’ custom gunite pool with an integrated flush spa and full-length bench seating. A hidden automatic pool cover improves safety and efficiency while preserving the pool’s clean design. An expansive pavilion and pergola with a stone fireplace and outdoor kitchen create a true outdoor living room overlooking the water. Careful placement, retaining walls, drainage, and landscaping maximize the space while meeting local zoning requirements.
