Cocktails by the pool
With its loggia-style alfresco dining facilities, pool house and 20m-long pool by Mayfair Pools, this property is just made for entertaining on a grand scale
Outdoor living areas have become an integral part of a home design in recent years, and this project shows why.
The outdoor area has been designed to create a complete entertainment venue for family and friends, with the piéce de resistance being the large pool built by Mayfair Pools agent Richard Rowley of Designer Pools, Auckland.
At 20m long, the lap lane is a good length for serious swimming, and the 3m depth at one end allows for diving fun. A Pisa Blue pool interior provides a vivid contrast to the sandstone-coloured pool surround. The pool also features an Ozone water treatment system, and a solar water heating system.
To retain a sleek, uncluttered look, the pool cover is hidden in a recessed pit at the end of the pool closest to the house.
Other special features include an alfresco dining area with built-in fireplace, seats, barbecue and pizza oven. There is also a pool house with a gymnasium.
Mayfair Pools specialises in custom-built fibreglass pools that can be made to any size and shape, to fit virtually any site. The company, which has been in business for more than 35 years, has a network of agents throughout the country.
