Fireworks every night

One spot of the backyard would be seen frequently from the foyer and living room, both of which had huge glass walls facing outdoors. Clearly, a spectacular view was needed. Pecoraro delivered by lining up two fire pots so they lead the eye toward the pool.

He chose stainless steel octagonal pots powder coated to look copper so they would match with the other materials. “I thought the shape of the pots would go well with the angles we had in the pool,” Pecoraro says.

The fire pots appear to sit in their own individual vessels, but both are actually part of the pool. Separating them is a bridge that passes over the water, allowing traffic into a lower level containing the spa and seating area. The waterscape was built by Tim Kalkowski and Nevada Pools in Las Vegas. Shawn Ruybal and Las Vegas-based Design Concrete constructed the home and outdoor kitchen.
