Pool Garden with Garden Furniture

This is a concept for a simple swimming pool and recreation terrace for a family.  The lap pool provides adequate space for exercise and family fun while the terrace creates the perfect environment for entertaining.  I used Google SketchUp to create 3D models and exported the images with different rendering styles.

SketchUp Samples

I've been experimenting with Google SketchUp recently.  These are some images of an imaginary formal Southern garden courtyard.

A classic garden bench is surrounded by clipped boxwood hedges and flanked by tropical banana trees.   Vines trained on the wall add depth and texture to the vignette.

A wall mounted water feature adds white noise while creating an interesting textural focal point.
