In the beginning this was just a gapping clay hole in the middle of the house. The dream was to create a sheltered courtyard, away from the wind. The vision was to build not only a swimming pool but a small lap pool with a formal shape that could be viewed from the moment one stepped over the threshold of the house. As well as acting as a focal point of the residence.
Ponga and ferns now flourish in the back corner. The lady with the vase spills water into the pool at one end. Chatham Island Forget-me-nots now flower in the shaded corner, and two well grown Pseudopanax soften the sunny side, under planted with small grasses.
The pool looks beautiful with its soft lighting at night. This area is functional, as well as aesthetically pleasing when not in use.
