The Project
Canal-edge composition.
The Brief
Make the pool disappear into the waterway.
A waterfront property on the canal. A private boat dock beyond the pool edge. The brief was simple: the pool should disappear into the waterway.
Achieving that required precise engineering — the overflow channel, the balance tank, the sightline from the covered alfresco to the pool's far edge. Every element had to read as one composition, not a pool sitting in front of a view.
Construction Process
From excavation to overflow.
What We Built
Every detail composed.
Infinity edge
The far wall of the pool overflows into a hidden collection tank below. From the alfresco, the pool surface and canal merge into a single uninterrupted plane of water.
Glass mosaic waterline band
Iridescent grey-blue swirl tiles. Set with precision detailing around all fittings and returns.
Pebble aggregate interior
Durable, textured, natural. Holds its finish across Queensland's UV exposure and chemical cycles.
Integrated spa
Rectangular, dark interior finish, positioned under the covered pavilion. Shares the pool’s equipment. Designed as part of the alfresco, not an addition to it.
Travertine coping and surrounds
Cream-toned natural stone across the full pool deck. Clean profile, flush-edged.
Frameless glass fencing
Unobstructed sightlines from every angle. Compliant. Invisible.
Pavilion integration
The covered alfresco, spa, and pool were designed as a single outdoor living zone. The pavilion roof frames the pool-to-canal view from every seat.
Completed Pool
Finished composition.
The Result
Where the pool ends, the water begins.
At golden hour, the pool surface reflects the canal and sky as one. The pavilion frames it. The spa anchors the entertaining area. The infinity edge does what it was always supposed to do — makes you forget where the pool ends and the water begins.
