Situated near the entrance to the house, a Polywood farm table makes dining poolside a breeze.
Clients living on a rural Woodbine, Maryland, property hired D.A. Dunlevy to design and build an outdoor-living zone in their backyard. One priority: to create a swimming pool that would inspire conversation. A retrofitted shipping container—currently a popular alternative to traditional pools—answered their wishes. “We set it into an existing slope so its glass viewing window is visible below,” recounts principal Blake Dunlevy. An expansive ipe deck surrounds the pool, flowing out from the farmhouse-style residence.
