The new entrance driveway was widened to accommodate contrasting black banding plus the addition of a modern-look geometric walkway. Both elements add visual interest to the rectangular pattern of Mega-Melville landscaping slabs which are made by Permacon.

Above ground pool in Valdora

Serenity Pool Co.

Our clients in Valdora desperately wanted a pool but all they could not find a pool builder willing to build it. This was because the swimming pool was to be built above ground and on solid rock. At its highest point it is more than 4m out of the ground. Many builders thought it wouldn't be possible, but we love challenges at Serenity Pool Co. We also concreted and tiled extra surrounds, along with building a deck and a set of steel framed hardwood stairs

Maison ossature bois

Groupe Futura

Cette maison est située en banlieue parisienne à Clamart, à 5 kilomètres de Paris. Le défi de ce projet était d'intégrer une vaste maison sur un terrain relativement étroit, au milieu de maisons, tout en maintenant les surfaces extérieures utilisables. Cette construction est d’une superficie de 280 m2 sur 3 niveaux, un sous sol sur la surface totale de la maison, un rez de chaussée avec salon, salle à manger, cuisine, et à l’étage les chambres, salles de bains et terrasses. Cette maison dotée d'une architecture moderne et épurée est en ossature bois avec une façade extérieure blanche. La grande particularité était de donner à cette habitation une communication avec l’extérieur, ses grandes baies vitrées apportent un très grand afflux de lumière qui s’offre à l’intérieur, et en saison chaude une connexion directe sur la terrasse et la piscine. La liaison entre la cuisine, la salle à manger et le salon est mise en valeur par les espaces ouverts, renforçant l’impression d’espace. La salle à manger est en en prise directe avec la grande façade vitrée, ainsi tout en restant lumineux cet espace reste protégé. A l'étage, un couloir longeant la façade relie les chambres à coucher et une terrasse en bois extérieure. A chaque extrémité il y a une grande chambre avec un balcon ouvert sur l'extérieur. 4 chambres donnent sur la terrasse sud et sa vue et sa piscine. Derrière, deux salles de bains s’offre un accès direct sur un patio qui initialement doit recevoir dans le futur un jaccuzzi. De beaux éclairages dans toute la maison donnent une touche de légèreté et de modernité, et mettent en valeur les les grands espaces de la maisons. Cette maison a été imaginée pour offrir aux propriétaires un confort de vie inégalable : de l'espace, de la luminosité, de la sobriété ainsi que du modernisme. Malgré des lignes droites et des formes simples, le volume est chaleureux, moderne et donnent à la maison un fort attrait.

The Jones's at Lennox

Project Habitation Pty Ltd

Although the existing house is only 3 years old, the owner felt the layout of the project home was void of passive climate control and sunlight deep within the floorplan. They also desired a pool in the front setback. The design proposes a total reconfiguration to the ground floor, pulling the existing enclosed spaces from the Northern edge and replacing them with open plan that connects to multiple outdoor areas. The kitchen and dining area open directly to the plunge pool. A timber arbour with trellis directs people to the entry.

Front Yard Pool Design Ideas

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
