PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOE VERONE

All Island Gunite pools designed the overall concept for this project with the homeowner’s needs in mind. This classic brick and bluestone design features a pool and open air cabana in a park like setting.

Energy efficient LED lighting in tandem with other green technology creates a magnificent and cost efficient experience. This pool is fully automated, and can be controlled with a smartphone or laptop
from anywhere. Green features Kitchen & Bathinclude a hydraulic automatic cover which retains heat and also acts as a safety cover. This unit has a removable key which eliminates access to the pool. A variable speed energy efficient pump was installed on the pool which uses half of the electricity as normal pool pumps and is much quieter. The pump also acts a SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) which exceeds federal safety laws for entrapment.

Landscape lighting purposefully placed was used to create a moonlit effect, as well as for nighttime practicality.

Kitchen & BathAll Island took care of all aspects of the job including landscape and hardscape design, permits, lighting, fenc
ing and irrigation. Robert Drucker or one of his qualified designer/project managers made the project run seamlessly. As Drucker says, “we tailor each project to our customer’s desires. Our aim is to build the finest, award-winning project with the least stress for our clientele.”
