Case 01 / Restoration + hydraulic renewal
Canyon Residence
Los Angeles, CA2025
01 The brief
A visually calm pool was being undermined by uneven circulation, recurring scale and a finish that flattened the architecture at dusk.
Response
NIVORA redesigned return flow, renewed the surface in a deep mineral aggregate and calibrated lighting to the residence’s warm stone palette.
