In the prestigious Chatham Hills community of Westfield, Indiana, a remarkable pool installation by Pools of Fun demonstrates how thoughtful design can create the perfect harmony between modern aesthetics and practical functionality. The winner of Imagine Pools Pool of the Month September 2024 showcases how contemporary pool design can enhance both the architectural appeal of a modern home and its natural surroundings along the golf course greens.
The homeowners, an active family with children, approached Pools of Fun with a clear vision: they wanted a contemporary pool that would not only complement their modern home but also serve as an entertainment hub in their vibrant neighborhood.
“It’s a very social neighborhood,” noted Tyler Hermon, VP of Sales and Marketing at Pools of Fun, pointing out that several neighboring properties feature similar contemporary designs, many of them also installations completed by Pools of Fun.
award-winning design elements and features
At the heart of this installation is The Marvelous 40’ by Imagine Pools in sophisticated Storm Grey, a choice that perfectly embodies the project’s contemporary aesthetic. The pool incorporates several premium elements that elevate both its functionality and aesthetic appeal:
- Four laminar deck jets creating elegant water features
- Three LED lights for dramatic evening ambiance
- Two fire bowls standing sentinel behind the pool
- An automatic cover for safety and maintenance
- Advanced chlorine with UV ozone treatment system
The spa installation, featuring The Mystique model by Imagine Pools, was strategically placed closer to the home for convenient access to and from the home during the winter months. Operating on its own independent pump, filter and heating system, it offers year-round enjoyment for the homeowners.
thoughtful pool material selection
The material choices reflect careful consideration of both aesthetics and longevity. The surrounding hardscape features:
- Cut concrete decking with white color hardener, providing a modern paver appearance without traditional paver settling concerns
- Charcoal-colored unilock paver coping with poured concrete backing
- Black slate chips along the perimeter, enhancing the contemporary aesthetic
- Strategic placement of artificial turf near the fire pit and spa areas for easy maintenance

The project beautifully integrates with existing elements, including the home’s back deck and outdoor living space. The flat terrain and adequate access between neighboring properties allowed for smooth installation, with Pools of Fun handling the pool construction and surrounding concrete work while coordinating with other contractors for complementary elements like the artificial turf installation around the fire pit area and the spa area.
