CHAMPIONS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Considering creations with CONCRETE IDEAS • You’ve made the momentous decision to install a pool in your yard, but how do you know what type of pool is the best for you? As an informed and intelligent reader, I’m sure you’ve come to know the differences in certain pools such as fibreglass. However, if you’re looking elsewhere for pool design and installation, might I suggest an alternative that you may not have considered before: concrete. For some, the word “concrete” evokes certain imagery that may be less than flattering. Not many would want to emulate industrial tones when the original vision was beachside getaway after all. In this article, these pre-conceived ideas of concrete will be challenged in the hopes that you may consider options that could elevate your pool area to greater heights. Western Australia Pool + Outdoor Design’s Robin Harper seeks to reveal the benefits of concrete pools by sitting down with Kai Linke, director of Graziani Pools.

EASY Swimming • A backyard pool is the ultimate home luxury, and owning one is often synonymous with opulent multi-storey abodes and expansive backyards. However this luxury isn’t limited to those blessed with vast properties and endless cash, and in fact, thanks to clever engineering from some of the best in the business, there are plenty of pool options to suit everyday Aussie homeowners. At the forefront of this movement, Plunge Pools Direct centres on delivering customer-focussed, accessible pools that are designed with everyday Australians in mind. Here, Pool + Outdoor Design’s Katie Livingston chats with the company’s founder, Jon Neilsen about the possibilities that plunge pools offer, and just how this innovative company has streamlined pool ownership into a stress-free experience.
