‘The self-cleaning pool is so easy to own. We almost used the pool daily from November through to Easter. We love to have lunch out on the deck looking over the water to the view.’ Would you have done anything differently? ‘No, we really love living with the pool. It does everything I was told it would do.’ James, Pool owner, Trafalgar VIC

The ultimate country retreat
Paradise in the country. Living out of town, these pool owners wanted to have their view enhanced with the swimming pool gently blending in with the environment. They didn’t want blue water to contradict the landscape. The aim of this swimming pool was to enhance not contrast.
Glass edge as an infinity pool alternative
The customer did not want a negative edge (infinity pool) due to the evaporation rate of the water running over the edge but did want the look of extended water view or disappearing edge. This was the reason the glass edge was added to the project.
X-Trainer pool shape or a lap pool?
Originally looking at a long lap pool they decided that they needed more lap swimming but in proportion to the large deck space. A skinny pool would look wrong in size. Hence, they made it two lanes instead of one! This is the 10.2m X-Trainer.
Complex site with easy access
This site was very easy due to wide access however the height difference did cause some complexity. The pool was engineered by the manufacture with the Maxi rib technology to allow the pool to be ‘free-standing’. This allowed the pool to sit at house level. The pool owners could have had 5 steps down to the pool area and installed the pool in ground however they wanted the pool up a living area of the house and existing deck. The property had an erosion zone overlay so there was a town planning process we had to go through with the client which did add an additional 8 weeks to the planning stage. The council were good to work with as they just needed the correct reports & engineering to show this overlay was considered in the build and they approved the town planning permit.
