ORIGINAL PROPOSAL:

This was the original design sketch which we used to seel our proposals to the Client - different from now when we would produce a folio of 20 drawings!

Design Proposal Drawing

 

PROJECT START:

When we first visited the site the project had already started and the pool walls were built with concrete blocks: Concrete block pool walls

 

The plant room foundations and the pool connection pipework: pool plant room foundations

 

The foundation for the infinity edge collection trough - see the pipework for the floor drains: Inifinity Edge collection trough

 

This illustrates what a difficult site this was to work on: View of pool drop off

 

CONCRETING:

Pouring the concrete for the top of the infinty edge trough: Concreting Inifinity edge trough

 

Concreting the slab - I love concrete pumps! Concreting pool paving slabs
