Natural Pool with View on Lake Zurich

The garden designers created a curved natural pool for a listed old wooden house, which had been renovated with care. As the house is on a bank, a curved retaining wall had to be constructed, made of sandstone cubes and integrated into the landscape. Broad sandstone stairs leading to the water and a brook complete this magnificent natural pool. From the seating area above the pool there is a beautiful view of Lake Zurich and one is close enough to take in what is going on in the water. Upon completion the pool owner proved to be very understanding: "When I saw that the pool was having algae problems during the first months I told myself that the pool just needed time. One can’t control absolutely everything – some things should be left to nature. Sometimes one just has to let things go. Those who agree with me will be as happy as I am with their natural pool." In the past decade the owner has never regretted his attitude towards nature.
