2021 REMCO POOL OF THE YEAR GOLD AWARD Aquarius Pools
The scale, complexity & detail of this project, produced an exceptional result that delighted the clients.
AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE 2021
Whilst achieving a beautiful aesthetic, this pool and spa also has the ‘the lot’. The innovative design features an infinity edge on 3 sides of the pool with a large spa at the opposite end and the clever addition of a Remco Swim-Jet housed into a 730mm wall between the pool & spa. Due to the sloping block, the 16.39m pool is suspended 5 metres above the ground. Complex engineering has enabled a generous plant room to be located under the pool - more than meeting the brief for a fully automated, low maintenance, pool for family fun, swimming laps and entertaining.

The curved sculptural form of the house is designed to wrap around the pool. All the rooms of the house point north over-looking the swimming pool & out towards the city. The pool & spa are a stunning water feature at night with the LED lights.

The attention given to achieve this result was of the highest level, both above ground and below. Below, the plantroom layout which houses so much equipment is millimetre perfect. Above ground, the wet edge has a 5-metre drop over a stone clad wall. This required complete form work and reinforcing with the balance tank and gutter all having to be built as part of the foundations and sprayed separately before the pool shell could begin. The balance tank wall on the underside of the pool was a staggering 650mm thick. The boundary side infinity edge and associated gutter has drainage to the balance tank and required a 440mm thick wall for the length of the pool.
