Lifestyle habits and needs change over time. What was once perfect often no longer meets the new requirements after a few years. This was also the case for this family: the dream of owning a modern home was combined with a complete redesign of the garden. The old swimming pool gave way to an ultra-modern natural pool, which now forms the centrepiece of the outdoor area. Now the residents enjoy relaxing hours outdoors — without any chlorine, but with clear, refreshing water.
When the existing makes way for the new
The desire for a harmonious retreat that also offers space for activity and play was at the centre of the planning. The entire outdoor area had to be attractive for every member of the family — from the youngest child to the adults. This meant: an oasis of well-being that combines relaxation and bathing pleasure.
During the renovation, the existing concrete pool was completely dismantled and replaced with a new natural pool. The clear water quality allows carefree bathing without any chemical additives. An integrated bench in the pool invites you to linger and is particularly popular with the youngest members of the family.
Innovative technology for naturally clean water
The centrepiece of this system is the modern Living Pool technology — a further development of the classic swimming pond. In contrast to conventional concepts, this natural pool does not require a planted regeneration zone. Visually, it resembles a classic pool, but the water is treated completely without chlorine.
A highly effective filter system removes phosphates from the water, which algae need to grow. This keeps the water clear, pure and pleasant — almost like in a mountain lake. This technology combines the comfort and appearance of a swimming pool with the naturalness of a bathing pond and ensures that the pool looks inviting all year round.
Protection and comfort
An underfloor slatted cover has been integrated to protect the natural pool from leaves and coarse dirt. This can be easily opened and closed at the touch of a button. The subtle grey colouring harmonises perfectly with the anthracite-coloured pool basin and underlines the elegant appearance. When the cover is not in use, it disappears out of sight behind the bench — an aesthetic solution that is also very functional.
Practical details for everyday life
A natural pool is not only a visual highlight, but should also be easy to use in everyday life. The entire technology has been elegantly concealed under a warm wooden deck to save space. On one side, the deck serves as a spacious sunbathing area, while the easily accessible technical area is located on the other side. This means that maintenance work can be carried out quickly and easily without detracting from the appearance of the garden.
An oasis for many years
The result is a modern garden in which the deep blue of the natural pool magically draws the eye. On hot summer days, it offers refreshing cooling, while on cooler evenings it serves as a tranquil eye-catcher. The combination of clear design language, innovative technology and well thought-out details makes this garden a place that the family will enjoy for many years to come.
A natural pool like this combines sustainability, aesthetics and bathing pleasure — and shows how well thought-out garden design can transform a house and outdoor area into a harmonious unit.
