Clean, straight lines combine with sleek curves for a standout pool and lifestyle space in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
Brought to life by Artesian Pools, this project was not just about building a swimming pool, but also about creating a lifestyle space that has become a standout feature of the home. Beautifully bright, the contemporary pool is built to effortlessly fit with the modern architectural design of the dwelling, situated on a sunlit, elevated block in Dover Heights in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
The in-ground rectangular concrete pool and poolside space blend effortlessly into the backyard and alfresco area, allowing for maximum integration of the pool and entertaining elements of the home. The clean architectural lines of the 8m-long pool, cool colour scheme of the interior tiles and surrounding coping, teamed with the clever in-built design of the poolside furniture such as the curved daybed, allow for optimal maximisation of pure summer vacation vibes.
The choice of a cool colour tone captures the brightness of the sun, matches the build of the home, and is complemented by the landscaping. The clever selection of grey grout accentuates the pool tiles while also emphasising the sleek architectural lines of both the pool and internal spa.
By closely colour matching the coping stone with the pavers that continue into the alfresco, the pool and surrounds become one and creatively blend inside and outside living. Through the use of seamless glass, the pool fence almost “disappears” and removes any visual obstruction of the backyard view to the pool. The fencing blends with the daybed through careful matching of = materials and cleverly integrates vertical and horizontal lines that accentuate the architectural elegance of the pool and surrounds.
“This was as close to a flawless project as you could get,” explains Zeb Rodrigues, director of Artesian Pools. “With this project, we applied our motto ‘the ability and experience behind the art’. For us, a good design focuses on building a pool that is not only functional, but one that is also a standout feature of the property, creating a build that complements the home and makes best use of available space while meeting the perfect point between balance and contrast.”
