Description
This pool design diverges from traditional designs by having two split levels along the edges. Majority of the pool was made with an overflow channel with one section specifically made into an infinity edge giving a waterfall-like appearance. In addition, being situated on a higher level, a pool bar counter, stools, decking with steps, and glass fence were added for the ultimate entertainment piece of the backyard.
The main special design feature was the split levels of the overflow pool with an infinity edge area. As the pumps are working the water flows over the infinity edge creating a tranquil sound for people to enjoy as they relax in the sunken pool bar counter area. In addition, the wood plastic composite decking creates an exclusive look setting it apart from the garden, an outdoor shower for convenience and a glass fence for safety were added to the design.
As the pool is situated on a higher level than the ground, we had to create a higher deck area with steps and the infinity edge without taking extra garden space and maintain a 45-centimeter separation from the lawn. In addition, the color of the deck was selected to contrast and compliment the color of the coping stones.
The client wanted to build an irregular shaped pool as the area was not suitable to hold a traditional rectangular shaped pool and specially requested to have a raised decking with multiple entry points. With this in mind we created a kidney-shaped pool and with the multiple entries saw an opportunity for the infinity edge. Mid-project the client requested the addition of the pool stools to be added with a poolside bar counter.
