A rectangular built-in pool measures 900 x 400 x 150 cm and sits beside a wall with long horizontal openings. The waterline runs cleanly along the low edge, while the adjoining covered lounge area gives the pool zone a second layer: one part for swimming, one part for sitting under cover. The project combines the pool itself with the equipment needed to keep it in daily use, from lighting and filtration to heating and cover systems.

What is installed in the built-in pool

The pool is finished with a 1.5 mm reinforced liner in an anthracite context, which gives the basin a darker body and a clear edge against the water. Warm white pool LED lights are part of the specification, along with a pool management system and stainless steel pool inlets. These are not decorative extras. They shape how the pool works, how it is read at night, and how the waterline and fittings sit against the concrete shell.

The listed equipment also includes a filtration setup with AFM and ACO for swimming in drinking water, plus an All Seasons Full Inverter pool heat pump. A solar louver cover completes the technical package. Together, the components describe a built-in pool that is planned as a working installation, not just a finished basin. The structure, liner, fittings, and cover all sit within the same narrow, measured framework.

A wall with openings sets the tone beside the water

What stands out most in the images is the pool-side wall with its long, horizontal openings. The openings stretch the view and break up the mass of the white surface without closing the garden off. Seen from the terrace, they read almost like a line drawing cut into the wall. The result is a clear relationship between water, masonry, and air, with the pool kept visually open even when the wall is closed.

That wall also frames the lounge area under cover. The seating zone sits under a simple awning-like volume, with masonry surfaces, a door panel in a wood-toned finish, and straight edges that follow the same geometry as the pool. The covered pool lounge is not pushed to the side as an afterthought. It is set directly next to the water, so the route from lounge to pool is short and direct.

Materials kept to a restrained palette

Across the pool zone, the material list stays limited: reinforced concrete, masonry, stone paving, and the dark pool liner. That restraint is visible in the photographs. The paving sits low and flat around the basin, and the pool edge remains crisp rather than heavily framed. On the garden side, planted borders soften the straight lines, but the hard surfaces continue to do the main structural work.

The technical unit near the lawn is treated just as plainly. It sits low in the garden edge, close to the pool area, where it can serve the installation without drawing attention away from the main view. In a project like this, the placement of equipment matters as much as the equipment itself. The cover, pump, and filtration components are part of the spatial order around the pool.

The pool zone as an extension of the terrace

Concrete paths and paving lead through the grass toward the water, so the garden is read as a sequence rather than a single open field. The pool sits within that sequence, with the lounge area and the wall openings acting as markers along the way. Because the basin is rectangular and the surrounding lines stay straight, the space feels measured by edges, not by ornament.

Warm white LED lighting is especially relevant here. By night, it will read against the dark liner and the anthracite-toned interior, giving the water a calmer surface and making the pool opening easier to read. During the day, the same fittings remain discreet. The stainless steel pool inlets and other inbuilt elements stay close to the shell, so the visual emphasis remains on the basin, the wall, and the strip of terrace beside it.

How the lounge and pool relate in plan

The covered lounge area sits in a rectangular volume of its own, but it is aligned with the pool rather than separated from it. From the photographs, the result is a narrow zone of transition between sitting and swimming. That transition is made with concrete paving, a masonry wall, and the overhang above the lounge, not with loose furniture or decorative gestures. The built-in pool therefore reads as part of a compact outdoor composition.

Vegetation around the edges tempers the hard geometry, but only in small amounts. Low borders and lawn keep the structure visible. The wide white wall, the openings, and the covered sitting area remain the dominant elements, while the pool itself anchors the scene with water and reflection. This is where the built-in pool dimensions matter visually: the 900 x 400 x 150 cm proportion gives the basin a long, calm rectangle that fits the site’s linear layout.

A pool designed to be used, covered, and maintained

The solar louver cover sits naturally within the overall setup, because it belongs to the same measured logic as the rest of the installation. It can cover the basin when the pool is not in use, while the heat pump and filtration system support day-to-day operation. Nothing in the technical list is hidden as an abstract specification; each item relates to a visible part of the pool’s use, from water treatment to heat retention and handling.

The project images make that practical side easy to read. The pool is not isolated from the rest of the garden, and the garden is not arranged around a decorative object. Instead, the water, wall openings, technical covers, and lounge canopy form one working outdoor zone. The built-in pool remains the centre of that zone, but it is the relationship between the elements that gives the project its clarity.
