This cleverly designed pool is located on the top of a 3 storey residence facing north and east overlooking the beach and ocean. Being an ocean front it is in a marine environment meaning that materials used must withstand the highly corrosive salt air. The pool also acts as an insulator when filled with water. The views are incredible from both the expansive entertaining area and within the pool whilst also retaining privacy. Adjacent to the area of the BBQ is a “pool window” built into the end of the pool allowing supervision of children from above, around and inside the pool. The 21.6kw solar power covers all pool equipment day to day running and heating the 10,000L rainwater tank which stores the refill. The Bunker pool is not only a unique pool due to its breathtaking views and flawless construction it was very cost effective because the base of the pool is actually the concrete floor of the residence with the “walls” designed as beams. It is a pool that did not require any excavation. Therefore, apart from the tiling, $1500 plastic rain tank, solar collectors the rest of the pool was “part of the house”.
