The designed by Channon Architects, to provide a showstopping pool using conventional concrete blocks to build the pool, sun deck, cantilevered walls and balustrading
The pool & footings were hand dug due to poor access and constructed out of blockwork as per the architect brief. All materials were loaded into the site by wheel barrow and hand labour.
Instead of a regular tiled coping, the clients opted to go to a polished concrete surround and coping concrete to complement the polished concrete used on the pool terrace and deck. Concrete floating steps also lead to the pool area. This entailed forming up a lip over the edge of the regular pool shell, pouring of the slab and then the polishing. This is a time consuming and labour-intensive exercise to make sure the edges end up square and plumb. Concrete block cantilevered walls, steps, BBQ area and balustrading compliment the simplistic design. The pool interior is 100% Whyte glass bead.
The block layer / concreter is a master craftsman with attention to detail, precision, and skill far above industry standards
