A modern gunite pool and elevated, auto-covered spa anchoring a complete outdoor living space — kitchen, pizza oven, poolside basketball, and all — in the Treasure Valley, Idaho.
The Davila backyard is what happens when a pool is designed as part of a bigger picture. The modern gunite pool and its elevated, large-format-tile spa anchor an outdoor living space that includes a full kitchen with grill and pizza oven, a poolside basketball goal, and low-maintenance turf — a yard built to host all summer long.
The elevated spa is fitted with an automatic cover, which keeps heat in, debris out, and operating costs down — exactly in line with Scott's philosophy that once constructed, a pool shouldn't cost much money or time to own.
Underneath the clean modern finishes is the same foundation as every Universal Pools build: a steel-reinforced concrete shell engineered for Idaho's freeze-thaw winters.
The spa sits raised above the pool, wrapped in clean large-format tile that matches the yard's modern architecture. Elevating the spa makes it a focal point — and a warm place to sit long after Idaho's swim season ends.
An automatic cover keeps heat in, debris out, and kids safe — and it dramatically cuts heating and cleaning costs. It's one of the best investments an Idaho pool owner can make, and it works best when designed in from the start.
The pool and spa anchor a full outdoor living space — kitchen, pizza oven, dining, basketball, and easy-care turf. Designing the pool around how a family actually lives is what turns a backyard into the place everyone gathers.
