2025 Award Winning - Small Pool with a Big Sense of Calm
2025 Narellan Pools - Award Winner (Silver - Above Ground Pool)
Designed to enrich everyday living, this compact outdoor space proves that thoughtful design isn't measured in square metres, but in the moments it creates.
At its heart sits a 5-metre saltwater pool, solar heated and mineral rich, offering a place to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together. A dedicated paddling area was thoughtfully incorporated for the family's beloved dogs, ensuring every member of the household has a place within the design.
An elegantly tiled arrival sequence and beautifully crafted louvred gates establish a sense of welcome, while carefully positioned instant hedging creates privacy and a feeling of enclosure, transforming the space into a peaceful retreat from the outside world.
Every element has been intentionally considered to maximise both function and enjoyment. Curated outdoor furnishings invite long afternoons in the sun and relaxed evenings beneath the stars, encouraging the simple rituals that make a house feel like home.
The result is a backyard sanctuary that feels generous despite its compact footprint …a timeless outdoor oasis designed for connection, restoration and everyday living.
This stunning pool area exudes privacy and relaxation, featuring luxurious woven swivel egg chairs, a cozy woven day lounger, and elegant circular concrete tables that create the perfect atmosphere for unwinding. The soft glow of the 'Mooon' lamp and simple solar lighting add a touch of nighttime magic, transforming the space into a serene oasis.

The established ivy hedge along the back wall provides an ideal private backdrop for the woven sun lounger and swivel egg chairs, enhancing the tranquillity and comfort of this outdoor space.
The wooden bench seat cleverly conceals the pool cover when not in use while providing a convenient seating area and the back wall fence and instant hedges offers the desired privacy, enhancing the overall tranquility of the space.
Maintaining the home's contemporary dark aesthetic, a sleek black Nirvana 5m pool fits perfectly within the limited space, providing a quick and stylish solution just in time for summer swimming.
An additional off-piste zone has been seamlessly incorporated, featuring the client's existing furniture to create a unique and inviting space within the overall design
