Case Study: Integrate a 10m Pool into an Established Yard – Tasman
Location: Richmond
Installer: Pools Spas and Essentials – Nelson-based servicing Tasman and Marlborough regions
Project Overview
The homeowners wanted to introduce a large, high-end swimming pool into their established semi-rural landscape — without disrupting the character of the property. The vision was clear: the pool needed to feel like a natural extension of the outdoor environment rather than a newly added feature.
The Pool
-
Model: Bermuda Senator 10m Insulated Fibreglass Swimming Pool
-
Colour: Maldives Blue
-
Purpose: Luxury recreation and outdoor entertaining
The generous 10-metre design provides ample swimming space while creating a strong architectural presence within the landscape. The Maldives Blue finish delivers vibrant, resort-style water colour that shifts beautifully with the natural light.

Design & Landscape Integration
Careful planning ensured the new pool complemented the property’s existing features. Key considerations included:
-
Aligning pool levels with the natural contours of the land
-
Selecting finishes that reflected the semi-rural setting
-
Maintaining open sightlines across the landscape

Using transparent elements to preserve space and flow
Glass balustrades and fencing were chosen to maintain uninterrupted views, while natural-toned tiling softened the modern pool design to suit the surrounding environment.
