About this listen
In this episode of the Pool Magazine Podcast, host Joe Trusty sits down with veteran pool and landscape designer Kirk Bianchi to unpack his winning entry in this year’s Million Dollar Pool Challenge. Bianchi explains how he approaches every project like a piece of music, starting with an overarching theme drawn from the home’s architecture and the surrounding landscape.
From reconciling “Rocky Mountain rustic” tastes with a Mies van der Rohe–style glass box, to using fire, water, and retaining walls like instruments in an orchestra, Kirk walks listeners through how he choreographs views, alignments, and transitions across the Napa hillside property. He also shares why competitions like the Million Dollar Pool Challenge matter, how designers can “find the music” in their own work, and what he’ll be looking for as a judge in next year’s event—plus a preview of his upcoming mentorship platform at kirkbianchi.com.
