Set within a substantial subterranean sanctuary, Poolside harnesses the emotive qualities of water to artfully deliver an immersive and meticulously detailed urban oasis. A fully secluded and private indoor pool and wellbeing retreat within a residential home, Poolslide creates a meditative sense of place and invites relaxation of the highest form.

The interplay of reflected and refracted light merged with a tranquil soundscape is at the core of Poolside’s sensory-led design. Evoking a therapeutic experience of being under the surface of water, water gently trickles down slanted natural stone walls while a single glass skylight above the pool and ceiling light channels creates soft lighting and reflections both day and night.

Providing an elegant entry experience, a sophisticated stone staircase appears to float on the surface of the 25-metre lap pool, providing access to both the pool and an adjoining rectilinear spa bath. A large stream room, entertainment room and theatre are hidden behind the stone walls, providing a seamless merging of space and function.

Interfacing cohesively with the existing home and garden while establishing a clear threshold between interior and exterior, Poolside evokes the sensation of being in a contemporary ruin – drawing inspiration from the way ancient Egyptian architecture draws on light, sound and landscape. The result is a sophisticated, immersive space that redefines luxury in a suburban setting, providing a serene escape from the everyday.
