What’s better than enjoying year round alfresco living alongside a gorgeous pool that sparkles day and night?

“The brief was clear: embrace the architectural lines of the home and integrate this into the pool design,” says Brett Cantwell, one of the two directors at Form Pool Designs, the Melbourne-based company that designed and built this stunning pool.

Given the home has large floor-to-ceiling windows across the entire back of the ground floor, as well as expansive windows on the second storey, this pool can be seen from many
rooms so it needed to be spectacular. The 5m x 4.8m slim-line pool is nestled into the space between the alfresco area and the back boundary — the best position for maximum sunlight exposure and visibility from the outdoor entertaining spaces. Being fully tiled in gorgeous mosaics from Bisazza, the pool sparkles brightly in the sunlight during the day and has an iridescent and alluring ambience by night when lit with its Astral SLX LED lights.

“In this outdoor area there are clearly designated spaces for entertaining, outdoor play and swimming, but all these areas flow seamlessly with each other,” says Brett. Concrete steps lead swimmers safely and easily into the pool, with the option to sit and rest here as well. Bluestone paving surrounds the pool, creating a timeless boarder which reflects the elegant design of the home.

“Nothing has been compromised when designing this pool. It’s ideal for relaxing as well as for family fun,” adds Brett.
Form Pool Design builds unique and bespoke swimming pools to suit all budgets. Its process is tailored to suit each client’s needs and involves a single point of contact, from the planning phase through to the end, with personal service focusing on ongoing customer relations, reliability and integrity.

Led by directors Ross Floyd and Brett Cantwell, the company’s work includes building integrated spas, sun pods, beach swim-outs, waterfalls and water features. Its design and build team specialise in concrete pools and can create standard concrete pools, concrete plunge pools, infinity-edge concrete pools and freeform concrete pools. Pool updates can also be undertaken, with the addition of lights, interiors and even changes to the shape of the pool so that it looks and performs like new.

Servicing metropolitan Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, Form Pool Design builds approximately 20 pools per year, with a focus on the complete outdoor experience.
