A refined lap pool and spa nook designed for fitness, family time and effortless entertaining
Stretching confidently along the length of the property, this striking lap pool is a masterclass in contemporary restraint. Designed by the clients in collaboration with their architect as part of a knock-down-rebuild, the pool was conceived as an extension of the home itself — a space to move, unwind and gather, all within a clean, modern framework.
The brief called for a pool that could keep pace with a busy family lifestyle while offering moments of calm at the end of the day. Jade Swimming Pools delivered a sleek concrete and reinforced steel structure measuring an impressive 17.7m in length, anchored by a spa nook and swim-out zone at one end. Whether used for early-morning laps, children’s play or relaxed evenings with friends, the pool adapts effortlessly to each moment.
A defining feature of the project is the integral retaining wall that runs the full length of the pool. Rising 1.5m high, this 17m feature wall not only resolves the site’s slight slope, but also creates a strong architectural edge, enhancing the sense of linear flow. Fully tiled in Ezarri Iris Mix Diamond mosaic tiles, the interior finish delivers the crisp white-and-blue palette the clients envisioned, shimmering beautifully under both natural light and evening illumination.
Despite a challenging construction period marked by an unusually wet season and clay conditions, the Jade Pools team navigated the site complexities with precision. Additional formwork and excavation management ensured the structure remained sound, allowing the project to progress without compromising the final result. The outcome is a pool that feels calm, balanced and deeply considered — a functional asset that elevates everyday living.
Completing the experience, the spa nook is fitted with eight Venturi jets, transforming the swim-out area into a dedicated relaxation zone. Advanced filtration, mineral sanitisation and energy-efficient heating systems ensure the pool is as practical as it is beautiful, allowing the family to maximise their time at home, together.
