This dual-level aquascape would have to flow seamlessly. But the design team didn’t want to have to incorporate two sets of steps with a landing in between. So as lead designer, Brian Worley proposed a set of coiled stairs connecting the two primary planes.
“We were trying to figure out how to tie that top patio into the bottom,” he recalls. “If you look at that top wall, it rolls one way. We just formed those steps to roll with it. It really went with the natural lay of the land.”
To blend materials while allowing them to stand out further, Worley placed a natural stone face on each step. He used a local Tennessee flagstone called Crab Orchard, which he also used on the pool’s coping, to give the project a unified feel.
