Profile Residence. Concrete Pool, Centennial Park

The garden is long and narrow, so the pool runs the full length of it against an existing sandstone wall. The wall does the heavy lifting visually, and the pool sits quietly in front of it.

A water blade set into the wall feeds the surface and gives the courtyard its sound. Frameless glass keeps the line clean, and a strip of lawn softens the approach from the house.

How do you fit a pool into a long, narrow garden?

At Profile Residence the garden is long and narrow, so the pool runs its full length against an existing sandstone wall as a slim lap pool. A concrete shell can be poured to a narrow width and still hold its shape, which a moulded pool cannot.

What does the water blade in the sandstone wall do?

The water blade is set into the existing wall and feeds the pool surface, giving the courtyard its sound. It is a simple way to add movement and a soft acoustic backdrop without crowding a narrow space.

Can you build a pool against an existing sandstone wall?

Yes. Here the pool sits quietly in front of the sandstone wall, which does the visual work, with frameless glass keeping the line clean. Working alongside existing structures and heritage stone is routine for a concrete builder.
