SPASA Pool of the Year
Winner of SPASA Pool of the Year - 2013. The entire pool, spa and exposed wet-edge face of the pool were fully tiled using large format bluestone tiles. Made from volcanic stones that have formed and hardened over millions of years, bluestone is extremely dense and hardwearing, enabling it to be used in the most vigorous of applications. Melbourne Town Hall and St. Paul's Cathedral are good examples of how enduring bluestone is, with these buildings of the mid 1800's only requiring a good clean to return the bluestone to its original condition. Whilst bluestone pavers are ‘on trend’ at the moment for pool coping, they are not often used to fully tile a pool interior, however, the extensive use of this timeless material aided in the integration of the pool with the existing setting.
