Project overview
Built for this home, this site and this family.
This Coral Blue Sequins fibreglass pool in Frankston South was planned around the people who use it, the conditions under it and the home beside it. A coral-blue fibreglass pool planned as a multi-purpose centrepiece for a private Frankston South backyard.

Project decisions
What shaped the solution.
Site response
Wet, restricted access
The installation path was extremely wet and tight, making access a defining construction consideration.
Material direction
Coral against the garden
Coral Blue Sequins was selected to sit against pale rendered walls and the owners' tropical planting.
01 / The starting point
The brief
The owners wanted a multi-purpose family pool that would sit naturally within the tropical garden they planned to complete around it.
The water needed to remain visible from the living room and outdoor entertaining area, making pool position as important as the shell itself.
A vivid coral-blue interior was part of the brief from the beginning, chosen to stand out against the home's light rendered walls.
02 / Site and construction
The build
Extremely wet ground and restricted access shaped the construction approach from the outset.
The team had to bring the pool and equipment through the available path while protecting the relationship between the house, pergola and future garden.
The pool installation was completed with the surrounding landscape left ready for the owners to continue in their own direction.
03 / Shape, finish and use
The design
The Eden shape, Coral Blue Sequins finish and pool position were selected together around the owners' intended use.
A clear rectangular swimming zone supports everyday family use, while broad entry steps create a natural place to enter, pause and sit in the water.
The blue water, pale walls and dense planting create the contrast that gives the completed backyard its tropical character.
