An existing pool. An unexpected destination.
For his own family, Dan Ramos transformed an older pool into a nautical retreat. A historic sailing vessel became a pool house and wet bar, set beside waterfalls. A swim lane, spas and a slide expanded the ways the family could enjoy the space. AQUA Magazine documented the remodel in Dan’s article, “Choose Your Own Adventure.”
