Hidden behind lush planting, this garden reveals an impressive living pool. This personal bathing paradise of our client offers relaxing hours in a natural environment and blends harmoniously into the overall picture thanks to carefully coordinated materials.
Professional garden planning for a personalised wellness oasis
The wishes and needs of our customers take centre stage at the beginning of every garden planning process. Initially, the client dreamed of a swimming pool, but was unsure whether this could be realised in the existing outdoor area. A detailed analysis on site enabled precise planning so that the dream of a living pool could be realised.
The garden before and after the remodelling
Chemical-free bathing in the Living Pool
The new Living Pool in the PP pool with its deep blue colour. A decisive advantage of this prefabricated pool is the quick installation, which shortens the construction time and allows the wellness oasis to be used more quickly. The four-step staircase makes it easy to get into the cool refreshment. On the opposite side, an underwater bench extends across the entire width of the pool, ensuring relaxing hours in the water. It also provides space to store the slatted cover, which protects the water from soiling.
The innovative Living Pool technology keeps the water clean and clear — without any chemicals. A modern biofilter removes phosphates and thus reduces algae growth, making the water crystal clear and gentle on the skin and eyes. Chemical-free cleaning makes swimming in the Living Pool an experience reminiscent of a natural mountain lake. In the evening, LED spotlights create an atmospheric ambience and skilfully set the scene for the pool.
Space-saving wooden deck for perfect access
A path of curved stepping stones leads to the Living Pool and gives the garden area a natural structure. Some of these elements were newly added to liven up the existing area and merge harmoniously into a wooden deck that surrounds the pool. The wooden deck offers several advantages: It does not get excessively hot even in strong summer sunshine, which is particularly beneficial for children, while also facilitating access to the water. Hidden underneath is the pool technology, which remains easily accessible if required without restricting the surface area. The customised wooden family bench fits perfectly into this area and complements the ensemble perfectly.
Lush planting for the outdoor space
The garden contains an embankment, which had to be included in the planning. A seating wall made of natural stone serves as slope stabilisation and gives the garden a characterful touch with its rough, textured surface. Like the stepping slabs, the wall is also designed in curved shapes that emphasise the lightness of the garden.
The Living Pool is also surrounded by lush planting that provides privacy and privacy. The children can splash around undisturbed and the family can enjoy relaxing moments. Three majestic ironwood trees (Parrotia persica) flank the pool from the side, while a Japanese fan maple (Acer palmatum) provides a shady spot by the wooden bench. In addition, the feather bristle grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides) and quaking grass (Briza media) lend the garden an elegant lightness for a natural aesthetic.
This hidden oasis impressively demonstrates that the desire for a living pool can be realised in various garden concepts. With well thought-out planning and space-saving design elements, individual wishes and needs can be optimally fulfilled. Now the family can enjoy their time together outdoors with a dip in the refreshing water of their personal swimming paradise.
