A dazzling lap pool in South Australia receives a multitude of awards — both gold and silver — in recognition of its outstanding design and build

For this sleek double-sided infinity-edge lap pool, Elite Pool Constructions (SA) won the Residential Concrete Pool $50,000–$100,000 gold award, Lap Pool of the Year gold award, and silver award in the 2016 Pool of the Year category at the prestigious SPASA SA 2016 awards. However, despite its numerous accolades, the project was not without its challenges.

“Very tight access via a laneway was the only access point to the property, in which we had to crane in a pre-made concrete balance tank as well as form up the pool,” says Anthony Scaffidi from Elite Pool Constructions (SA).

Designed by Glasshouse Projects, which also designed and built the extension, this St Peters pool was constructed above ground and is 13m long with exotic polished black granite lining the external wall and spillway. Ceramic 25mm x 25mm mosaic tiles feature to the pool’s interior and bluestone coping pavers complement the granite, while the cream rendered wall on one side of the pool works well with the dark granite.

At 2.75m wide, the rectangular pool provides plenty of room to exercise, or to simply cool off when the heat of a South Australian summer becomes too much.
