Beloved Friends star Matthew Perry renovated and added an infinity pool in his backyard nearly 14 months after he was found dead inside his newly installed hot tub, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Back in August 2022, Perry applied for a permit for “excavation and backfill for a pool/spa” in the rear of his swanky Pacific Palisades home, according to records obtained by RadarOnline.com from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety.
The building plans also showed Perry, 54, made sure the rear of his home was properly secure by installing an elaborate alarm system.
“Provide an alarm for all doors the dwelling give access to pool,” the notes on the architectural plans stated.
“The alarm shall sound continuous for a min. of 30 seconds when the door is open. It shall automatically reset and be equipped with manual means to deactivate for 15 secs max for a single opening. The deactivation switch shall be at least 54” above the floor.”
The renovations were designed by the renowned Scott Joyce Design Inc. in West Hollywood, whose handy work has been featured in House Beautiful, House & Garden, and Luxe Interiors + Design.
The renovations also included land grading to give Perry a stunning view of the horizon, building records showed.
Shortly before his death, Perry posted an Instagram photo lounging in his new pool and the hot tub where he was found on October 28 dead and floating face down in the water by his assistant.
