Design Inspiration

This pool was the result of a detailed design process spanning over three years, carefully developed to complement the scale and layout of the new home build.

Following challenging soil conditions, extensive groundwork was undertaken — including the removal of approximately 300 cubic metres of material and the introduction of stabilised soil — to ensure a solid and long-lasting foundation for the pool.

The final design brings together functionality and visual impact, with a dedicated shallow wader area providing a safe and enjoyable space for children, while the main pool offers generous swimming space for relaxation and exercise.

A series of stepping stones create a visual and physical transition between zones, enhancing the architectural flow of the pool.

The addition of three splash downs, four trio deck jets, and a 5-metre water wall featuring three sheer descent waterfalls introduces movement, sound, and a strong focal point within the space.

Completing the design is the inclusion of an S.R. Smith Turbo Twister slide, adding a fun, family-focused element that transforms the pool into a true backyard destination.

Positioned to flow seamlessly from the outdoor entertaining area and visible from the second-storey balcony, the pool becomes an integral part of the home’s overall design — both functional and visually striking from every angle.

Functional Elegance

This pool demonstrates how large-scale design can successfully combine practicality, entertainment, and visual appeal in one cohesive space.

Every element has been carefully considered — from the zoning of the pool areas to the integration of water features and automation — ensuring the pool is easy to maintain while delivering a premium user experience.

The combination of advanced technology, high-quality finishes, and thoughtful design allows the pool to perform exceptionally while maintaining its visual impact.

Whether used for family fun, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the space from within the home, the pool delivers a versatile and engaging outdoor environment.

Client Vision Realised

The vision for this project was to create a pool that would serve as both a functional swimming space and a central feature of the home’s outdoor living area.

Through careful planning, engineering, and design, that vision has been brought to life in a pool that caters to all aspects of modern backyard living — from relaxation and entertaining to family enjoyment.

The combination of scale, features, and seamless integration with the home ensures the pool is not only a place to swim, but a space to gather, unwind, and create lasting memories.

This project stands as a strong example of the craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail that Cookes Pools & Spas brings to every build.
