DOUBLE DUTY The way this lap pool is integrated into the design of the house and landscaping around it means that it’s both an inviting place to swim and an eye-catching feature that adds aesthetic appeal – and a relaxed, tranquil feel – to the outdoor space. The simple, pavilion-style architecture of the house is perfectly complemented by the strong lines of the outdoor area here, including those provided by the long and narrow pool. Tip Its location – adjacent to a tropical beach – means that all the outdoor elements here take a serious battering from the elements. Hence the use of the simple screed finish around the pool’s perimeter, which can be easily cleaned and won’t fade or degrade in the sun.
