Old World Feel rectangular pool with detached raised spa and patio

Stone path from the home toward the Old World Feel pool and spa

This Chantilly project, identified in the portfolio as Loudoun County, brings a classic rectangular pool together with a detached raised spa, paved seating areas and a putting green. The pool and spa are separate parts of the composition rather than a single level surface.

A detached spa with a visible spillway

The original project description records the spa as raised 18 inches above the pool. Water flows over a spillway into a small catch pool. Stone veneer around the raised spa relates to stonework on the opposite side of the pool, giving the two areas a visual connection.

Connecting the pool, patio and approach

The photographs show paved seating areas around the rectangular pool and a stone path approaching from the home. The published account identifies concrete-based pavers and a putting green. Together, these details show how the yard can support swimming, sitting outside and other activities.

For your own design, consider the route from the home to the water, where people will gather and how a spa will relate to the pool. A detached raised spa changes both the appearance and the planning conversation; it should be evaluated for your property rather than copied from a photograph.

The automatic cover and pool-barrier plan

The published account records an automatic pool cover. A powered safety cover may form part of an approved barrier arrangement only when it meets ASTM F1346, the applicable Virginia pool and building codes, and the local authority's approval conditions. Loudoun County's pool-permit guidance links to its fence acknowledgment, which addresses qualifying fences or powered safety covers.

Do not assume that any automatic cover replaces a fence. Confirm the proposed equipment, installation and barrier plan with the permitting authority. A cover does not replace active adult supervision.
