The beauty of working with concrete is that you can create bespoke designs that utilise the flexibility of the building material to give you complete versatility in the design of your swimming pool. Our Glen Iris project is the perfect example of a custom swimming pool and spa combination that really makes for versatile useability. Positioned along the short width of the pool footprint, the spa sits at water level which creates clean, crisp lines. A fully tiled spillway allows heated spa water to flow into the pool and be recirculated.

Sometimes spas are highlighted by using a different tile or raising them above the water line of the swimming pool – or they are positioned completely separately, as is the case in our Caulfield project. But in this garden an understated simplicity is achieved by unifying the spa and swimming pool. Swimout benches have been incorporated on both long sides, water spouts create atmosphere and dynamism and the lounge terrace links everything together.
