RESIDENTIAL. EASTERN SUBURBS

MK Residence.

An architectural pool poured into a tight Bellevue Hill block. Spillway, integrated spa, sculpted coping line.

Location
Bellevue Hill, NSW
Type
Residential

The MK project is what a residential build looks like when the architect, the landscape architect and the pool builder all sit at the same table from day one. We were on the drawings nine months before excavation.

The result is a long, narrow concrete shell with an integrated spa at one end, a sculpted spillway facing the house, and a coping line drawn at the same height as the kitchen threshold. Dark glass mosaic interior. Honed bluestone everywhere else. The pool reads as a quiet, dark line of water cut into the architecture.

Frequently asked

Bellevue Hill pool questions.

Can you build an architectural pool on a tight Eastern Suburbs block?
Yes. The MK pool is a long, narrow concrete shell poured into a tight Bellevue Hill block, with an integrated spa at one end and a spillway facing the house. Concrete lets the shape be drawn to fit the site rather than an off-the-shelf mould.
Do you work with the architect and landscape architect from the start?
On this project the architect, the landscape architect and the pool builder sat at the same table from day one, and Wright Pools was on the drawings well before excavation. That early coordination is how the coping line was set at the same height as the kitchen threshold.
What finishes were used at MK Residence?
The interior is a dark glass mosaic, with honed bluestone used everywhere else, so the pool reads as a quiet dark line of water cut into the architecture. These are hard-wearing finishes suited to a high-end residential build.
