Hawthorn Innovative Pool

Design Brief:

The clients were a young busy family who required a modern swimming pool to compliment the striking new extension to their home. The pool was to be sustainable so that they could enjoy “guilt free” all year entertainment from their swimming pool.

Summary:

To achieve the clients desired levels of sustainability a large water tank was installed to provide year round top up water to the pool and garden. An automated safety cover was installed to reduce evaporation and maintain heat levels in the pool. The Viron gas heater contains the latest technology in terms of efficiency.

The pool finishes are high quality all round with a bluestone waterline used to add the chunky appearance to the pool coping. All efforts have been undertaken to hide any of the pool equipment with the filtration installed behind the feature wall and the pool cover cleverly installed in an underground pit.
