The project
Biotope Architecture + Interiors designed this enclosed lap pool for a client for whom daily swimming was essential. On a compact, well-used site, the south-west corner gave the most privacy and shelter, and aligning the pool with the laneway boundary gave the length needed for uninterrupted laps without overshadowing the garden.
A continuous glazed skylight runs the full length of the pool, filling the white-lined room with shifting daylight, while a glazed link connects it to the house. It was completed in 2025.
