Luke Denny, owner of Alpentile, passionately creates beautiful pools and spas with unique glass tile products like, in the case of this stunning retreat, Oceanside Glasstile. The technical requirements for installing glass tile in submerged applications are extensive, especially in the extreme temperatures of the Arizona desert. His process is time intensive as he eliminates risk of failure down the road - most of the essential work in installing these luxurious features is truly beneath the surface. He painstakingly approaches the details of the design with the same attention as his interior work - this is one thing that sets his work apart from the rest. On this project, a vacation home / golf retreat for the client, the backyard space was very small, and designer Wendy Lesueur wanted to create a high impact design, while fitting with the scale of the space. By using glass mosaics with their iridescent and metallic finishes, she was able to design a stunning entertaining space. Luke collaborates closely with his clients to understand the details and this project was a perfect marriage of design vision and technical delivery.
