Concrete construction, stone walls and integrated water features — designed together to create a distinctive outdoor living space.
This residential pool project in Yeronga combines custom concrete construction with stone walls and integrated water features to create a distinctive outdoor living space.
The project demonstrates how the pool itself and its surrounding architectural features can be designed together to create a more complete backyard environment. Natural textures, concrete construction and moving water give the pool area character while helping connect it with the surrounding property.
Concrete provides a high degree of flexibility when designing a swimming pool. Rather than working around a predetermined pool shell, the dimensions and form of a concrete pool can be developed around the available space and the requirements of the property. For this Yeronga project, concrete construction provided the foundation for a pool area complemented by stone walls and water features.
One of the defining features of this residential project is the use of stonework around the pool. Stone adds texture and contrast to the clean surfaces of a concrete swimming pool and can help the pool integrate naturally with landscaped outdoor areas.
The addition of water features introduces another layer to the design, bringing movement and sound into the pool environment. Together, the concrete structure, stone walls and water elements create a pool area with its own architectural character.
Successful pool design involves more than selecting the size and shape of the swimming area. Consideration also needs to be given to how the pool relates to the house, entertaining areas, landscaping and surrounding structures. Integrating these elements during the design and construction process allows the finished pool to feel like a considered part of the property rather than something added afterwards.

With concrete construction, homeowners have greater flexibility to incorporate custom shapes, finishes, water features and surrounding architectural elements into their pool design.
