Your swimming pool - whether it's the one next to your deck or the one in your imagination - is sup­ posed to be a backyard oasis. An oasis is intended to be a place to escape from work and sweltering weather. But if your pool is like many built in the last several decades, it likely looks less like an oasis and more like a con­ crete trough with a blue-tiled bottom. That turquoise rectangle may date your outdoor decor as much as those 1970s avocado appliances that once made your kitchen look passe. As is the case with home decor and fashion, the hot trend in swimming pools can be summed up in one word: natural. Lucas Congdon, president of Sarasota, Fla.-based Lucas Lagoons Inc., says "natural is very much in." In fact, designers say the majority of high-end swimming pools installed today have some" organic" element to them, whether that element is the use of natural rock and stone, greenery planted in the water, or a free-form shape. In addition to new construction, Enhance your pool with organic elements, such as a fire pit.

It was built in 1889 for a spice merchant and looks out on San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. I have some photographs that were taken right after the house was finished that show the house and the bay but no bridge in the background.
