Platinum Swimming Pools
While this pool may look simple and sophisticated from afar, a breathtaking surprise lies beneath the surface. seven glowing portholes in the pool wall allow natural light to flood into the otherwise dim basement and games room. The pool is pivotal in the design of these lower levels, creating a funky geometric effect when viewed from inside.
Up above, the design flows seamlessly from the house to the garden and pool. The travertine tiles lining the pool and its surrounds are continued inside the house, and the pool is designed to feel as if it were cut from rock. spanning 14 metres and with an internal seat running the full length, this project satisfies the homeowners’ request for a pool that is family-friendly, yet also complements the house.
Eco-conscious features minimise the carbon footprint of this pool. Mineral salts are used as an alternative to chlorine, and the Waterco Hydrostorm pump is capable of lowering its noise and energy usage without compromising on power.
