Roll on summer with Mayfair Pools

Architecture doesn't stop with a house design today it's also about what goes outdoors, be it a courtyard, terracing, a poolscape or a mix of all three.

This new country house in South Auckland features a 13m lap pool that widens at one end to provide a fun family play area. The pool, built by Mayfair Pools, also features a 13m-long infinity edge, where the water spills over a wall to a shallow pool and retention tank.

Mayfair Pools builder Grant Van der Vegte says having the infinity edge not only makes the water merge with the horizon, but also ensures there is no obstruction to the view from the family living area that opens out to the pool. Glass balustrading on all sides helps as well.

"This pool was a little unusual in that one entire side of the pool already existed it forms the wall of the basement room below the terrace," says Van der Vegte. "Mayfair Pools has a lot of experience in this area, however. We specialise in building pools, both residential and commercial, where the pool or water feature is integrated into the structure of the building."

This pool sparkles with a Pisa Blue fibreglass interior, underwater LED lighting and a filtration system supplied by Filtermaster NZ. Mayfair Pools also built a 9m x 5m water feature on the property.
