Natural Pool in a National Park in New Zealand

The European owner of this pool wanted to create an “oasis of tranquility” as the concept for this Natural Pool by taking in the breath taking views to the mountains of the Kahurangi National Park and the ocean of the Tasman Bay. Allowing two regeneration zones on two sides of the pool add another 50 m² of water and blend in well with the surrounding landscape, planted predominantly in native plants. Two water features were integrated into the regeneration zones creating a relaxing ambience of flowing water. A timber jetty enhances the natural look. As the pool faces North-West, plants and mountains picturesquely reflect on the water in the evening.
