These pool owners are keen swimmers and fortunately, their property was both large enough and long enough to accommodate a 25m lap pool. The whole property plan included an extension and renovation of the house, but the pool was tackled as stage one. The pool design allows for 25m of lap swimming but also includes a 4m-wide section in the middle which is 7m long for pool activities and kid’s play. The positioning and layout of the pool works with the future entertaining space and flows smoothly through to the backyard, where there is still ample room for play. Most commonly, pools of this size are built in two halves and joined in the middle, and this pool is no exception. The engineering detail to avoid the join opening and leaking is super critical. The engineering steel design and foundations were thoroughly evaluated and tweaked during construction, with numerous engineering visits to guarantee a successful build. The interior finish is Gemtex Lapis Glow 100 per cent glass beads for a smooth finish underfoot in a pale blue, and finished with Ezarri’s Sagittarius metal-look mosaics on the waterline and lap lane.
