Preston Hollow Luxury Backyard Tour: Stunning Dual-Edge Pool Design

Step inside this modern outdoor retreat in Preston Hollow as AquaTerra Outdoors’ Dan Mobley walks through the design and construction of a truly one-of-a-kind backyard. Built with precision and intention, this project blends clean architectural lines with innovative engineering to create a seamless extension of the home. The pool itself features both a Lautner edge and an infinity edge, paired with a striking “Moses” detail on the spa weir wall that adds a dramatic water element. To maintain the client’s sleek, modern aesthetic, the design team carried the same materials used inside the home outdoors — including a 7mm porcelain tile that matches the interior flooring. Achieving this required creative problem-solving, including custom stainless steel plates that allow the thin tile coping to cantilever over the pool trough for a flawless, floating look. The team also developed a custom plaster color to perfectly match the client’s vision. As Dan explains in this walkthrough, projects like this come down to the details. When a space looks effortless, it’s because every measurement, material, and elevation has been carefully planned and executed. From early design planning to precise space planning that highlights the architecture and surrounding landscape, the goal was to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. If you’re interested in how luxury outdoor spaces are designed and built from the ground up, this is a project you won’t want to miss!
