Porcelain Paver Pool Decks for Model Homes
Commercial Project: Terraces and Pool Decks
Location: Rancho Mirage, CA
HDG Building Materials supplied porcelain pavers and Buzon pedestal systems used in the construction of luxury model homes at Cotino®, a Storyliving by Disney™ community in Rancho Mirage, California, built by Shea Homes.
Luxury Outdoor Living in the Desert
Across multiple model homes within the Cotino™ community, porcelain pavers were used to create clean, modern outdoor environments centered around pools, terraces, and integrated spa features.
The finished spaces emphasize open-plan outdoor living, where pool decks, seating areas, and landscaped zones function as a unified environment rather than separate elements.
In the desert setting of Rancho Mirage, porcelain provides a bright, stable surface that complements both architectural finishes and water features while maintaining long-term durability in extreme sun exposure.
A Second Model Home: Design Flexibility
A second model home within the development highlights the design flexibility of porcelain paver systems installed over Buzon pedestals.
While the structural system remains consistent, the visual outcome changes significantly depending on paver format and layout strategy.
Plank-format porcelain introduces a wood-inspired aesthetic, while larger modular formats deliver a more contemporary, architectural grid. Both approaches rely on the same pedestal-supported system beneath the surface.
The Finished Pool Deck Experience
Completed outdoor living spaces emphasize comfort and usability as much as design.
Furnished terraces, integrated spa features, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas create a resort-style environment centered around the pool deck.
Porcelain pavers unify these zones into a continuous surface, reinforcing a cohesive outdoor living experience suitable for dining, entertaining, and relaxation.
Built for Performance
Beyond aesthetics, porcelain paver systems are selected for their performance in demanding environments.
In the desert climate of Rancho Mirage, porcelain offers excellent durability, color stability, and low maintenance requirements under intense sun exposure.
When installed over adjustable pedestal systems, the assembly also supports concealed drainage beneath the surface, helping maintain long-term performance while preserving a clean architectural finish.
This combination of material and system makes a porcelain paver pool deck a strong solution for luxury residential outdoor spaces.
Where Design Meets Performance
The model homes at Cotino™ demonstrate how premium porcelain pavers and Buzon pedestal systems work together to create outdoor environments that balance architectural beauty with long-term performance.
From expansive porcelain paver pool decks and raised terraces to integrated spa surrounds, every detail reflects a commitment to thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and enduring quality.
Whether designing luxury residences, hospitality amenities, or elevated outdoor gathering spaces, architects and builders continue to choose pedestal-supported porcelain pavers for the flexibility, durability, and clean architectural appearance they provide.
