This contemporary swimming<br />
pool in Jumeirah Golf Estates<br />
is to dive for<br />
was a great project to work on,”<br />
enthuses David Russell, general<br />
manager at Pools by Design “The<br />
“This<br />
client wanted a contemporary<br />
swimming pool that is big enough to swim<br />
laps in, with a garden that included plenty of<br />
entertaining and relaxing areas.”<br />
The original outdoor space was narrow, with<br />
a number of different levels, so the pool deck<br />
level provided the starting point. It was raised<br />
to create a seamless transition from the terrace,<br />
which leads from the villa to the pool, with the<br />
golf course views beyond.<br />
David and his client worked together on a<br />
pool design featuring clean lines, white tiles<br />
and infinity edges for a fresh, on-trend look.<br />
“People are moving away from traditional blue<br />
tile finishes and being more adventurous in<br />
their choice,” David says. “White is very popular<br />
and can give a stunning effect, but we also have<br />
some amazing pearlescent tiles that provide a<br />
very cool and funky finish.”<br />
