Creating outdoor living space - Above Ground Pool

Another view: The yard sloped away from the house so the pool is out of the ground 18" on one side a 3' on the other. The original blue limestone slabs that made up walkways were repurposed into retaining walls and walk ways. The second story porch is being extended 8' and the wrought iron fencing will be added above. The Xs above the windows were uncovered as an architectural detail that surround the mud room, as well as bridge the entry way.
