This pool is stunningly nestled into a steep embankment and soaks the home's entertainment area with tranquility. This pool also won Lifestyle Pool of the Year, and numerous other State and National awards.
When this pool was first built it won a bevy of awards as a new pool, then when it was over 6 years it took out a "classic pool" awarded for it's longevity, and now that it's been renovated it's taken out a range of renovation awards also. It's possibly the single most awarded pool in the country!
This pool is over 10 years old, and has been recently renovated. Work included a full re-paint, changed the bamboo water chutes to stainless steel chutes, replaced the pebble spillover with more modern "travertine cubes" for the water to run over, re-laid natural stone coping, inclusion of a portable spa to the lower level and a general touch up at the end.
Originally, the customer requested a formal style pool, with a negative/wet edge to capture the views and take advantage of the contours of the land. Two separate entertainment areas were required, and the tranquil the sound of water features were a must.
To cater for the contours of the land, a 2.2m retaining wall was constructed to locate the pool as far back into the embankment as possible. This wall was also used to construct a stunning water feature using high grade structural timber (water treated) and making it a central focus to both entertainment areas, and not to encroach on the dramatic view.
The absolute myriad of design features present in this project is a testament to both solving logistical issues on a challenging site, and creating the precise "feel" desired by both the owner, and demanded by the dwelling and surrounds. It is one of our most prized projects, both here in Australia and overseas alike.
