A fresh take on a family favourite

This Waikawa renovation transformed an aging concrete pool into a clean, modern outdoor space designed for relaxed family living. Featuring a durable fibreglass lining, extended lounging step, sleek terrazzo paving, and a fresh deck to the pool house, the result is a low-maintenance, high-impact upgrade made for everyday enjoyment and effortless entertaining.

The clients came to us with a clear vision for their pool renovation: they wanted to transform their existing concrete pool into a modern, family-friendly space that balances style and functionality. They envisioned a durable, low-maintenance fibreglass lining paired with crisp white waterline tiles to brighten the pool’s look. A large, extended step was important for them—a versatile feature for lounging, playing, or relaxing with a daybed.

They also wanted to replace the old paving with sleek, contemporary Horizon Terrazzo Bianco pavers and create an expansive deck area leading to a pool house, enhancing outdoor living and entertaining space. For fencing, their brief was to have aluminium fencing that complements the home’s aesthetic while ensuring safety and durability.

Their goal was a fresh, comfortable outdoor area that suits modern family life in Waikawa, combining clean design with practical features. These included adding Mayfair’s proprietary insulation to what was previously a cold concrete pool.
