LAP POOL IN A COUNTRY HOUSE, BERKSHIRE

'A brand new swimming pool that does not look new at all.'

The owners of this country farm are avid swimmers and wanted a lap pool on their sloping land. The only flat bit of the property was dedicated to a cricket practice pitch for their sons, so the key was to put a pool on one of the slopes with minimum displacement of soil. Undertaken as a complete design and build contract, we opted for a concrete pool with green slate finish and grey reclaimed Indian stone surround to complement the style of the property.
