Pool

We collaborated with Visioneer builders and Rob Mills Architects on this unique pool for a luxurious Toorak home. The pool was located in the front garden, facing the road and therefore created a new challenge for our design team. This project features a rounded pool and separate round spa with luxurious finishes that act as an additional feature to the landscape. The unique sphere shaped plants surrounding the pool creates a contrast that adds dimension and colour to the relatively neutral colour palette, whilst also keeping the rounded shape that aligns with the pool and spa. Because this is a family home, additional inclusions were considered as part of the design process, this ensures that the space not only had amazing visual features, but practical safety elements meaning that access can be more carefully controlled. The denim penny round tiles further complimented the sphere theme of the project and provided a unique look to the space. The light colour also created a stark contrast between the greenery of the shrubs and the neutral colours of the home and surrounding Eco Outdoor Granite coping. The pool and spa feature a host of modern and high-end equipment solutions including: Infloor cleaning Pool Automation synced with Home Automation Mineral Chlorination with Ozone boost Combined Gas/Solar heating systems LED Lighting Our clients love their swimming pool and the way it integrates with the house, creating a stunning visual feature whilst remaining practical at the same time.

The project brief was to extend an existing stone Victorian ‘villa’ in rural Lothersdale, Yorkshire. This is detailed in two parts, in both a vernacular dressed stonework extension (built sustainably from re-purposed stone salvaged from demolished out-buildings, garden walls and patios from the site), contrasting with a far more contemporary-looking, ashlar limestone-clad and glazed-wall swimming pool. The new pool is dug into the existing sloped hillside garden and set within a relaid terraced lawn, with dry stone retaining walls and a limestone ‘scree-bed’ surround. The new building sits within a refurbished kitchen walled garden, complete with re-built stone shed with attached new cedar greenhouse. Pool and space heating is by an Air Source Heat Pump, with electric boosted by a roof-mounted PV solar system – complete with powervault battery storage inside.
