Clean lines and a seamless design
This stunning backyard oasis delivers effortless resort-style living. Installed by the expert team at Pool Installations Australia P/L in collaboration with Miami Pools Melbourne, the result is an inviting pool area that speaks volumes when it comes to luxury, comfort and clever planning.
From the moment Craig and Danielle engaged Wayne Gibson — CEO of Pool Installations Australia — things began to take shape quickly and confidently. With a longstanding connection between Wayne and Craig’s fathers from their days in Swan Hill, there was an instant sense of trust. A few site visits and detailed consultations later, their backyard vision was well on its way to becoming a reality.
“Our clients are a young family who wanted to bring a bit of resort-style living into their home,” says Wayne. “The brief was clear — a pool that felt like part of the home, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and growing with their family.”
With a Summertime Pools Flinders shell chosen for its elegant rectangular shape and integrated seating, the pool measures 7.3m long and 3.9m wide, with depths ranging from 1.2m to 1.75m. Stylish dark pavers frame the pool and flow effortlessly into a lush garden of layered greens and climbing vines, enhanced by the clients’ thoughtful landscaping.
The installation wasn’t without its challenges. “There was virtually no access to the backyard, and power lines out front posed a real issue,” explains Wayne. “Thankfully, the neighbour generously allowed us to use their driveway for access and we brought in a mini crawler crane and our Pool Installations trolley. This way we could safely manoeuvre the shell into place.”
Fitted with a Vortex EXE 17kW electric heat pump, Theralux mineral filtration system, and a Dolphin robotic cleaner, the pool is as smart as it is stylish. Two PAL Colour Touch LED lights provide ambient lighting, while custom lounge seating and chic landscaping make the pool zone as comfortable as it is eye-catching. A magnesium-based water system further enhances the eco-conscious credentials of this modern build.
The finished space is sophisticated and considered; every detail, from the curved paving edge to the pristine white sun lounges, delivers a sense of calm and cohesion. “Good design is all about flow,” Wayne notes. “This pool doesn’t feel like an add-on — it feels like it’s always been part of the home.”
