Hastings Residence.

A long-lap concrete pool set into a level Mosman garden. Designed for daily use.

Mosman, NSW

Residential

The Hastings brief was simple. A pool the family would swim in every day before school. Long enough for laps, deep enough to dive, shallow enough at one end to teach a child to swim. No water features. No edges. Quiet.

We poured a 14m concrete shell with a graded floor and a bluestone surround. Pebble interior. A single bench seat the full width of the shallow end. The pool has been swum in every morning since handover.

Frequently asked

Mosman pool questions.

Can you build a lap pool for daily swimming in a Mosman garden?
Yes. The Hastings pool is a 14m concrete shell set into a level Mosman garden, built for laps each morning before school. The floor is graded so one end is shallow enough to teach a child to swim and the other is deep enough to dive.
What finishes were used on the Hastings pool?
The shell has a pebble interior and a bluestone surround, with a single bench seat running the full width of the shallow end. The brief was quiet and simple, with no water features and no raised edges.
How long does a concrete pool like this last?
A steel-reinforced concrete shell is built to last for decades and can be given a new interior finish over time rather than replaced. This pool has been swum in every morning since handover.
