This in-ground gunite pool design in Virginia needed to fit within a limited space while still providing the features and appeal to the owner’s vision. Already having an outdoor kitchen and some minor elevation changes the overall design ties both of those challenges into each other nicely as if it were all built at the same time.

Things to keep in mind when building a pool in Virginia:
Virginia pool plans general info: In Virginia a pool building permit is required for most in-ground pool installations for both residential and commercial pools. Generally, the requirements and guidelines, including locally adopted codes, are mandated at the local municipal (city) or county level. In areas throughout the state of Virginia like Vienna, Great Falls, or McLean a pool permit is required.
Swimming pools in Virginia must be designed by a professional and include all applicable national, state and local code compliance. At minimum, a detailed site plan showing the pool, spa, and other proposed improvements is required and should also include property line distances, pool equipment location, and safety fences/gates. Other plan sheets may also be required with detail showing pool & spa features, dimensions, methods of construction and materials.
