Martinsville
+ BRIEF
Q: What was the inspiration for your client?
The client envisioned a unique design & build that seamlessly blended with the rustic charm of this expansive acreage, peppered with several quaint cottage-style buildings. Their goal was to modernise the property while preserving its timeless aesthetic. In this exceptional instance, Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living did not take on the design role. Instead, they were brought on for the construction phase, following a recommendation from the landscape design firm orchestrating the project.
Q: Why did your clients want a pool? Who was going to use it?
This pool was crafted as a private oasis for the owner, her husband, and their child—a serene retreat within the expansive property, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Q: What motivated the client to decide on Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living to design and build their outdoor space?
This client selected Luxury Pools & Outdoor Living following a recommendation from a landscape design company. After their initial contractor failed to meet expectations, they sought out a team with the skills & expertise to fulfil their diverse & extensive requirements.
Q: What was your client's end goal for the use of space?
With our comprehensive builder's license, our role extended far beyond crafting the pool. In this extensive design & build process, we undertook a series of transformative tasks. We replaced all posts & constructed new decking, gardens & intricate brickwork. An exceptionally long equipment, water tank & storage structure was built with concrete block walls & a suspended concrete roof that serves as the floor for the substantial cabana & BBQ area above.
We meticulously concreted the entire area surrounding the house & its sides, applying a custom herringbone brick pattern with mortar, then sealing the finish to perfection.
Our comprehensive work included:
Excavation
Waterproofing
Constructing retaining walls with blockwork, core-filled concrete & brick
Creating a fully tiled pool with integrated spa jets
Renovating every post of the extensively verandah-clad house
Building two large spotted gum decks
Concreting all walkways & installing custom-made bricks in a herringbone pattern
Erecting a hardwood cabana with an exposed king truss roof & custom metal plates
Building a large storage & equipment room with concrete flooring & core-filled block walls
This project showcases the seamless blend of rustic charm & modern sophistication, reflecting the client's vision in every detail.
Q: If you could describe in one sentence the feeling that the outdoor space should evoke based on the initial client meeting, what would it be?
This unique build is perfect for those seeking a blend of charm & character with all the modern conveniences & benefits of a new construction.
+ DESIGN
Q: Was the site suitable for pool construction? If not, how do you face this challenge?
Yes, the site was suitable for the work.
Q: What new or innovative elements did you include in this design, if any?
Even when constructing another designer's vision, we still added value throughout the process. Our adjustments to styling, materials & design include specialised jets, stunning Ezzari green tiles, & offset Europe Imports stone coping tiles that beautifully complement the brickwork.
Initially, the client planned to paint the cabana posts & trusses. However, we advocated for staining the exceptionally heavy & beautiful posts with exposed Kings truss rafters. This decision enhanced the property's charm & character while showcasing the investment required for this complex construction.
+ BUILD
Q: Which elements of the build were the most challenging to overcome?
This project faced significant challenges, including overcoming a La Niña weather pattern that brought nearly six months of continuous rain at the start. Our dedicated team went above & beyond to maintain the schedule despite these conditions. From working in the rain to meet crucial concrete pour dates to persevering through the damp & cold winter, their commitment ensured the project's timely progression.
