Built-in rectangular pool with integrated waterfall and LED lighting

The built-in rectangular pool sets the tone from the first view: a long, clean basin with blue water, a wide edge, and a sharp outline against the surrounding paving. The 800 x 402 x 150 cm dimensions give it a clear presence in the garden, while the white reinforced liner keeps the water line bright and easy to read. From the terrace, the pool sits as a measured strip of water rather than a loose decorative element.

What stands out immediately is the way the pool meets the ground. Natural stone paving runs along the edges and continues around the terrace, giving the water a firm frame. The surface changes are subtle but important: stone, water, lawn, and planting each have their own level. That structure makes the built-in rectangular pool feel anchored in the garden, with nothing left floating visually.

Water that moves over the edge

One side of the basin carries the integrated waterfall pool feature, and the effect is visible in the photographs. Water spills over a narrow opening in the wall, gathering foam as it falls back into the pool. It is a simple gesture, but it changes the sound and movement of the whole scene. The edge is no longer only a boundary; it becomes a place where the water surface is interrupted on purpose.

Seen from different angles, that waterfall detail gives the pool a second rhythm. The long rectangle remains calm and regular, yet the moving water adds a point of activity at one end. Close to the wall, the finish looks crisp, with the waterline held tight against the structure. This is where the built-in rectangular pool becomes more than a plan shape; it gains a visible feature that draws the eye across the terrace and back to the basin.

Lighting and the evening layer

Pool LED lighting is part of the specification, and it fits the project’s restrained character. Even without relying on decoration, light becomes a practical layer in the water. It highlights the basin shape after dark and makes the surface legible from the terrace. In a garden with hard paving, brick boundary walls, and planting zones, that kind of lighting helps the pool remain visually present when daylight fades.

The setting around the pool suggests a space meant to be used from more than one angle. A wooden pergola near pool level sits beside the terrace, adding shelter and a strong horizontal line next to the water. The timber structure softens the harder materials around it, but it does so through contrast rather than ornament. From the pool edge, you can read the terrace, the cover of the pergola, and the garden beyond as separate layers.

Cover, control, and the clean pool line

A gray lamella cover is listed with the project, and it suits the straight geometry of the basin. Folded shut, it follows the rectangular shape instead of hiding it. That matters in a garden where the pool is framed by stone paving and straight boundaries. The cover sits as part of the composition, not as an afterthought, and it keeps the visual line of the built-in rectangular pool compact and orderly.

Other technical elements are present in the source specification, but the most readable facts are the ones that affect what you see: the reinforced white liner, the illuminated water, and the waterfall edge. Together they create a pool that looks controlled from the first glance. The rest of the garden supports that reading with clear joints, fixed edges, and strong orientation from terrace to water.

A garden arranged around the basin

The modern garden with pool is defined by solid surfaces and planted borders. Large paving slabs run along the water, while lawn and planting soften the outer edges of the plot. A high brick boundary wall closes one side of the space, punctuated by small openings that keep it from becoming visually flat. The wall gives the garden enclosure, but the planting breaks that line with trees, shrubs, and raised beds.

That balance is visible in the wider shots. The pool occupies the center of the outdoor room, with the terrace holding the movement around it. Cube-shaped planters and narrow planting strips sit near the water, giving the hard paving a planted counterpoint. The result is not crowded. Instead, each zone has room to read clearly: pool, terrace, border, wall, and lawn.

Stone, timber, and the edge of the terrace

Natural stone pool terrace is the most constant surface in the project. It runs beside the basin, continues toward the pergola, and ties the seating areas to the water. The stone has a practical role, but it also sharpens the whole composition by keeping the ground plane consistent. Against the blue water and white liner, the pale paving creates a bright frame that makes the rectangle easier to read.

The wooden pergola near pool adds a different texture. Its timber frame sits beside the terrace and marks a place where the garden becomes more sheltered. Because the structure is open, it does not interrupt the view to the pool; it simply adds depth to the scene. In the photographs, the relationship between stone and wood is clear: one holds the ground, the other defines a lighter zone at the edge of the terrace.

What the close-up details reveal

Several images focus on the waterline, the wall opening, and the edge finish. These details matter because they show how the pool is built to be read at close range. The wide rim gives the basin a stable outline, while the flow from the integrated waterfall pool feature adds motion exactly where the edge would otherwise stay still. That contrast between fixed line and moving water is one of the defining parts of the project.

Even the simplest views carry that same clarity. Reflections on the water sit against the straight paving. Planting rises behind the terrace without overtaking it. The brick boundary remains present in the background, but the eye keeps returning to the basin and its edges. The built-in rectangular pool stays central throughout, with the waterfall, lighting, stone terrace, and pergola each adding a distinct layer to the setting.
