GARDEN DESIGN features like stainless steel waterfalls and Nova ® colours, which both enhance the pool’ s movement and light. These elements transform the pool into a multi-sensory experience, one that’ s as much about relaxation and entertainment as it is about visual impact.”
The landscaping around the pool is equally important. Native planting schemes, architectural hardscaping and water features are being used to create immersive environments that feel both luxurious and natural.
Designers are paying close attention to texture, colour and scale, ensuring that every element contributes to a cohesive and inviting outdoor retreat.
In urban settings, where space is at a premium, compact plunge pools and smaller models with countercurrent training systems are gaining popularity. These designs prioritise elegance, space and efficiency, often incorporating clever landscaping, reflective surfaces and clever lighting to enhance the sense of space.
Ultimately, the luxury pool is no longer just a place to swim, it’ s a statement of design intent. It reflects the homeowner’ s values, aspirations and connection to their environment. As Alex Kemsley notes,“ A well-designed pool doesn’ t just sit in the landscape, it shapes it.”
With this growing emphasis on integration, innovation and aesthetics, the luxury pool is poised to remain a defining feature of contemporary landscape design for years to come.
