St Andrews Project

A secluded 25m custom concrete lap pool in St Andrews, thoughtfully built into a bushland sanctuary and winner of multiple SPASA Awards for design and excellence.

Project Overview

This award-winning custom concrete swimming pool sits within its own private retreat, surrounded by tranquil bushland and the property’s home-grown vineyard. Hidden from roads and neighbours, the design maximises seclusion and connection with nature, creating an idyllic space for daily swimming and relaxation.

Design Process

Constructed on a sheer cliff face, this steep site demanded innovative engineering. The 25-metre pool shell was precisely cut into the embankment, with formwork stabilising three sides against the slope. A ledge at each end provides rest points for laps, while broad steps at the deep end ensure easy access and exit.

Results

At the shallow end, a concealed tank houses an automatic pool cover neatly hidden beneath the deck for safety and effortless maintenance. Electric heating, an advanced water and chemical management system, LED multicolour lighting, and a dark blue fully tiled interior with a crisp white lap lane combine to create a premium swimming experience, year-round. This pool was proudly awarded the SPASA Australia Pool of the Year!
