Infinity-edge 25m by 6m fibreglass swimming pool by Mayfair Pools, with Fiji Sands interior

Designing an outdoor living area and poolscape isn't always about providing lots of detail. Sometimes it's best to just let the view do the talking.

This 25m-long infinity pool, built by Mayfair Pools, is a perfect example. With dramatic views of the Marlborough Sounds as a backdrop, the pool is a sleek oasis of blue that merges with the horizon.

Mike Freeth of Marlborough Pools & Spas, the local agent for Mayfair Pools, says the owners chose the colour Fiji Sands for the interior of the fibreglass pool.

"This has a creamy look when applied, but it becomes a beautiful turquoise blue once the water is in the pool."

To operate the 25m weir a separate booster pump was installed. This can be isolated from within the house when the pool is not in use. The pool is heated by two large 30kW heat pumps hidden beneath the deck. There is also an automated Coverstar pool cover, concealed in a pit when not in use. The cover avoids the need for a pool fence, which would have obstructed the view.

Freeth says construction challenges included changing the size of the pool mid-build from 12m to 25m long.

"Both ends of the original pool were removed and the pool extended in both directions for the new owners."

Mayfair Pools is a specialist in custom fibreglass pools, with agents nationwide.
