The Myra White Modern Poolside project in Paradise Valley, Arizona exemplifies what's possible when premium natural stone meets deliberate, architecture-forward design. Spanning 2,200 square feet of seamlessly integrated outdoor living space, this 2022 installation transformed a high-end residential property into a resort-caliber retreat. From the natural stone patio to the pool coping and spa surround, every surface was carefully considered — and the material of choice throughout was the stunning Myra White, sourced and supplied exclusively through ANS MERMER USA.

Stone Selection

The entire project draws from the Myra White Stone Collection, featuring the Myra White Honed 16x24 3cm Modern Tumbled Paver. This format was selected for its refined yet approachable character — the honed finish delivers a soft, matte luminosity that reads as crisp and contemporary under the Arizona sun, while the modern tumbled edge treatment introduces just enough artisanal texture to prevent the expansive surfaces from feeling sterile. At 3cm thickness, the pavers meet the structural and safety demands of pool coping and heavy-traffic deck applications without compromise. The naturally cool tonal palette of Myra White also reflects heat effectively, a critical performance consideration for a Paradise Valley pool environment.

Applications

• Patio: Myra White Honed 16x24 pavers were installed in a clean linear pattern, establishing a cohesive outdoor living zone with a polished, spa-like atmosphere.

• Flooring: Continuous stone flooring across transition areas blurs the boundary between interior and exterior, reinforcing the home's modern design language.

• Pool Coping: The 3cm tumbled pavers were precision-cut for bullnose coping, providing a safe, slip-resistant edge with an elegant profile around the pool perimeter.

• Pool Deck: Large-format pavers across the pool deck create a visually expansive surface that stays cool underfoot and requires minimal maintenance.

• Spa: Myra White carries through to the integrated spa surround, ensuring a seamless material story across the entire water feature zone.

• Landscape: Stone pavers extend into the landscape pathways, anchoring the outdoor design and framing planted areas with architectural precision.

Project Highlights

• 2,200 square feet of continuous Myra White natural stone installation across six distinct application zones.

• A single-stone design strategy using one product across all surfaces achieved a rare visual cohesion rarely seen at this scale.

• The 3cm format provided the structural integrity required for pool coping and high-traffic deck use while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

• The honed and modern tumbled finish combination addressed both slip-resistance requirements and contemporary design standards simultaneously.

• Heat-reflective tonal qualities of Myra White made it an ideal functional and aesthetic solution for the intense Paradise Valley climate.
