Versatile garden design with natural pool and counter-current system

Do you like this reference? Please let us know.

Especially on hot summer days, we want a personal water paradise that invites us to enjoy pleasant hours and cool refreshments. In this project, the natural pool with counter-current system forms the centrepiece of the garden - but the real highlight is in the many loving details.

Before the remodelling

Every garden design begins with a personal consultation. In this first step, wishes and needs are clarified in order to realise the individual dream garden. Our sporty customers wanted to use the pool not only for relaxing, but also for intensive training. They also wanted wildly shaped slabs and decided to deliberately avoid yellow and orange colours in the planting.

The garden before

Warmth and cosiness through wood

Wood is particularly popular in garden design as it gives the surroundings a high-quality and cosy atmosphere. Sipo, which has a high degree of density and is therefore ideal for sun-exposed areas, was used for the spacious wooden deck in this outdoor area.

Not only is the majority of the lower garden level around the entire pool lined with wood, but individual garden details have also been realised with it. For example, there is a bench with waterproof storage space on one long side of the natural pool. Lined with Sipo, it blends harmoniously into the overall picture and gives the outdoor space a sophisticated finish. Sun loungers can be found on the spacious area on the other side of the pool.

A wooden deck also offers the advantage of being able to elegantly conceal the pool technology underneath. If necessary, the cover can be lifted easily and simply, so that the aesthetic effect of the blooming oasis is not impaired.

Cosy atmosphere

Chemical-free water and sporting opportunities in the natural pool

Water is a magical element and always draws us close to it. In this anthracite-coloured PP prefabricated pool, the depth effect is particularly emphasised, making the cool freshness even more inviting. The innovative filter enables a chemical-free bathing experience that is reminiscent of a mountain lake without deviating visually from a classic pool. The light-coloured wooden deck around the pool makes the natural pool look particularly attractive.

The integrated counter-current system is a highlight for sporty swimmers. Water sports are easy on the joints and the system makes it possible to bring effective training straight home. The current can be individually regulated via an app. The best thing about it: as soon as the training is finished, the natural pool can be used for relaxation without losing any space.

In addition to the technology, the pool also has something to offer visually: Entry is via a four-step corner staircase, which gives the Living Pool an elegant design. Handrails on the long sides not only ensure safety, but can also be used for water exercises. The natural pool therefore offers a wide range of possible uses. From relaxation to sport, everything is possible here.

Sport and relaxation

Seating area surrounded by flowering perennials

A log staircase leads from the wooden deck to a raised level in the garden. An inviting seating area has been created here with great attention to detail. This is embellished by the wildly shaped natural stone slabs made of Maggia granite. This design means that no two slabs are alike, yet the overall picture is harmonious.

The area offers enough space for a small lounge and a parasol - perfect for relaxing in the shade and letting your gaze wander over the blossoming garden and the clear water.

A curved path leading away from the seating area adds a romantic touch to the garden design. New plants have been added to the existing ones, creating a harmonious interplay of colours in shades of pink and purple. White panicle hydrangeas and the delicate feather bristle grass add a touch of lightness. Lavender and rosemary also exude a delicate aroma, allowing the garden to be experienced with all the senses. Even bees, butterflies and the like feel particularly at home here.

Sparkling hours

Where cool refreshment and a play of colours meet

From sporting activities and swimming fun to relaxing hours in the shade - this garden has it all. The chemical-free natural pool invites you to swim, while the raised seating area provides a sense of security. Colourful flowers provide lively accents and round off the harmonious overall picture.
