Tuscan villa? Minimalist manse? Resortstyl­e escape?

Whatever your poolside fantasy may be, the reality is that with a creative design team, and perhaps a lottery win, anything is possible.

Some of the hottest trends in cool pools include: underwater windows and plexiglass siding, infinity edges, mood lighting, automation via app, dancing fountains, submerged platforms, lap pools, and pond-inspired watering holes complete with living organisms and healthy bacteria.
