Ah well, can't please everyone! I can admit that that style is pretty divisive. The interior is sick too, but wanted to keep it more about the outside.

The inside looks more promising from what I can see of it. The outside's just a bit too 60/70s for me. Also, the outside could do with a wash.

I know, just getting out of it may be torture.
But in the southwest, when it is 115degF, I don't know dude, I think you might want shade over that pool. The scene is beautiful, beautiful lines, colors, textures, contrasts, forms, space, all that. Just that a human in that space, in that environment may not work.
