Take The Plunge

with Plungie

Round plunge pools are on the rise as for many homeowners they make far more sense than big pools as they make good use of space and create a dramatic feature with a modern look.  

Small scale pools often mean low scale stress when it comes to time and cost of maintenance.  Pool covers are much easier to put on and take off and heating becomes more affordable. You get the bonus that choosing a smaller pool takes up less of a footprint in your garden, that quite often means you have some space left over in your garden for entertaining friends around a conversation setting or cooking on a BBQ and dining outdoors or relaxing on a daybed.

As the outdoors become an intrinsic part of our living area as an extension to the living area inside the home, the living areas outside are required to be just as functional with the added benefit of being connected to nature.  Most clients want designated areas within their gardens for living, cooking, dining, and maybe a grassy area for kids and pets, a firepit to gather around in cooler months and then there’s the Aussie tradition of having a pool in the backyard. Sometimes, there’s just no space to fit in everything you want and that’s where the small circular plunge pool shines through as the solution. 

Somehow round pools always feel softer, harmonious, and natural nestled within a landscape, the shape seems to tie everything together like a full stop in a sentence. They can also seem less formal and more playful and magical, like finding a billabong in the bush.  But whatever kind of pool clients want, it should always be designed into the total landscape so the whole space feels cohesive. With circular pools you can create a perimeter over-flow which adds that very cool infinity-edge look, or you could have a bench seat within and outside the pool where both run around the perimeter or seating inside and outside the pool.  Whatever size circular pool you choose make sure it’s got great depth, at least deep enough to submerse yourself completely in the water – so at least two meters deep.
