Ground
A pool built in sand
The site is sand, so the shell sits on twenty-one screw piles rather than relying on the ground beneath it to carry the load.

A custom concrete pool is drawn for one property and engineered for what sits under it. These projects are published in full, from the ground conditions and the structural response through to the tile on the waterline.

Ground
The site is sand, so the shell sits on twenty-one screw piles rather than relying on the ground beneath it to carry the load.
Excavation
At two metres deep the walls kept collapsing, so about twenty square metres of below-ground boxing was used to hold the ground and form the pool.
Family use
A large shallow bench takes submerged lounges for the adults and doubles as the standing zone the children use most of the time.
