For many years, pools and outdoor landscapes served a couple of rather narrow purposes: cooling off and looking nice.
But today—especially as more people are staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic—pools and poolscapes serve a seemingly endless number of purposes. They’re outdoor living spaces with kitchens, seating areas, and entertainment centers; they’re recreation spots with slides, lazy rivers, putting greens and bocce courts; they provide places to exercise and strength train; they’re adaptable and accessible for people with disabilities; they seamlessly transition between a pool and a patio with the push of a button; and do double duty as meditation spots and, as is the case of natural pools, outdoor habitats.
