Pool
The plot of land was developed to accommodate the needs of a large, active family. Presence and interaction with water was at the center of the design brief. A bespoke scheme was designed that contained a water feature and a swimming pool as the main focal points of the garden. The garden was born out of a design objective of “layering�, acting to balance the elements of wood, stone, water and planting. The water feature is a bespoke installation and is clad in polished stone. The stainless steel water blade contains white LED lighting. The pool of the feature is lined with high gloss black tiles that reflect the surrounding garden on the surface of the water. The water feature is surrounded by extensive planting schemes that connect it to the other areas of the garden. Japanese blood grass has been mass planted at the front of the water feature. The swimming pool is surrounded by flush hardwood decking and apertures of block planting. The whole scheme is surrounded by pleached London plane trees. Extensive lighting and water irrigation systems have been integrated throughout the scheme to ensure both the sustainability of the garden and the enjoyably of it well into the evenings. He

Construction Material laminar flow water spouts, stone veneer
Designers built a retaining wall in order to raise the planting beds and to help hide the very high boundary wall. They used cladding on the walls in order to give them a contrasting texture and to add character.

They designed the small swimming pool with a laminar flow water spout, which provides an elegant and tranquil water flow into the pool.The water feature provides a focal point from the patio at the house and the gentle sound of water helps to mask the noise of the traffic on the other side of the wall.
