Daybreak Custom Pool in Wilmington, NC

Tucked into the Cedar Landing neighborhood off Greenville Loop Road in Wilmington, NC, Daybreak is named for the moment soft grey light gives way to clear blue, the same contrast that defines its palette. The design keeps the geometry quiet: a clean gunite rectangle with straight-edge coping, sited so nothing interrupts the view across the yard.

Marmiro Afyon Cloud carries through the patio and coping in a sandblasted finish, cool underfoot and soft grey-white in tone, while the same stone returns at the waterline in a leathered finish that adds subtle texture where water meets edge. Inside, Signature Matrix Picasso Blue plaster gives the water a vivid, saturated blue that brightens in full sun and deepens toward evening. Broad steps lead onto a sun shelf made for lounging in a few inches of water, and a submerged spa sits flush with the surface, keeping the lines clean and the space open from end to end.
