An extra-deep swimming pool and raised circular spa bring the front yard of this Victorian property to life, allowing year-round enjoyment for the owners
With a year-round love of water and swimming, these homeowners envisaged their future pool would be a showpiece they could admire from their California-style home, positioned on a special property with an abundance of fruit trees. However, rather than be situated in the backyard, the pool and spa were to be in the front yard, bringing this area of the property to life.
The clients and their kids love to swim and will even swim in the bay every day of the year. In addition, they also wanted a pool and spa that could be used for leisure. “For their front yard location, the clients asked for a 3m-deep swimming pool and a raised circular spa with rolled edges,” explains Clinton Bourke, director of Award Pools Construction Group, which was entrusted with the build. Minimal fencing, low maintenance and a complementary California-style design were also on the owners’ wish list.
Award Pools Construction Group built the 7m-long pool, laid the paving, and worked with Dusk Home Builders and the client on the design, which also incorporates a curved wall on one side. “This project really is something different; because of the size of the front yard, it shows what can be achieved in tight spaces,” says Bourke.
Pentair MasterTemp gas heating, as well as solar heating, allows the family to enjoy the pool and spa, regardless of the weather conditions. “The clients now swim in the pool all year round, and their kids love the spa, which gets used weekly,” he says.
Clinton Bourke, director of Award Pools Construction Group — a family-owned-and-operated business based on the Mornington Peninsula — focuses on building around 25 concrete swimming pools a year to ensure 100 per cent customer satisfaction. Clinton has been in the pool industry for more than 20 years, building award-winning quality pools and spas for residential clients of the Mornington Peninsula and metropolitan Melbourne.
“We offer our clients a seamless experience, from initial meet and greet through to handover,” explains Bourke. “Our commitment is one of excellence, achieved through well-designed and precision-built pools, plus regular communication and transparency with our clients to keep them informed throughout all stages of the build.”
Award Pools Construction Group consists of a small team of experienced staff who are all highly skilled, qualified and experts in their fields. “We offer quality construction, innovation in design and product, and the best technology and systems available on the market,” says Bourke.
The company is a member of Master Pool Builders and SPASA.
