10 Reasons Why Aussies Design World-Class Pools

Originally published by Belinda Crestani on Houzz

Many people underestimate the power of a well-designed and incorporated pool, the life-changing effects it can offer and the real value it can add to a home.

Australians are leading the way in design, sustainability and integration – and that’s just the start of it. Take a look at a few of the reasons why Aussie pools are some of the best in the world.

1. We know how to utilise space without compromising on style

With Australian backyards getting smaller in size, homeowners have had to become more practical in their design of pools. It’s not about just having the largest pool possible – it’s about creating a lifestyle. This pool was made to wrap beautifully around the house to feature a lap pool, spa and water feature all in one.

2. We focus on versatile and flexible options

The appeal of plunge pools like this is that they can be used all year round instead of just in the warmer months of the year. They also require less maintenance, fewer chemicals and cost less than your traditional backyard swimming pool. In addition, they can be designed to do double duty as a spa and can neatly fit into any tight space.

3. We know location is always the best inspiration

These homeowners knew the best feature of this pool was always going to be the surrounding view. To keep the distant hills and vineyards in full view, the choice was made to move and conceal all the necessary pool equipment 50 metres away in the distant tree-line. Out of sight, out of mind and away from the stunning vista.

4. We think outside the box

Depending on the type of pool you choose, you can make your lap pool longer to fill a larger space and add water features to make it an attraction. This is the perfect example of how a lap pool can work in a larger space and become a feature of the landscape.

5. We effortlessly combine work and play

Planned for multiple uses, this uniquely shaped pool was made to be used for entertainment and keeping fit.

6. We create more than just a swimming pool

Good design for a pool is about creating a balance between a project that looks great and is also really functional. In Australia’s cooler climate, it is essential that pools are made to look fantastic so that even when they’re not being used for swimming, they’re still an asset to the property.

7. We design them to be a gathering spot

A swimming pool provides a wonderful recreational space that can be enjoyed by the whole family, whether in the pool or just watching from the sidelines.

9. We take on a holistic approach to design

The style of any pool should complement the home, your taste and lifestyle. Aussies love to entertain, keep fit and healthy, relax, and most require a pool that will tick all these boxes.

10. We have a reputation for innovation and sustainability

Aussies embrace the benefits of modern technology, which include reducing maintenance to the absolute minimum and keeping running costs under control. Modern pools can be virtually maintenance-free if you want them to be. With in-floor cleaning systems, self-monitoring sanitisation systems, advanced solar heating and computerisation, pools can actually be run from inside the home, controlled by a simple touch-pad panel.
