A stylish pavilion and swimming pool enclosure overlooking Kaipara Harbour, featuring entertainment facilities, a wind-protected swimming pool, and sustainable energy solutions with solar heating.
A pavilion and swimming pool enclosure overlooking the Kaipara harbour providing entertainment facilities and wind protected swimming pool. The pool and the deck surrounding it occupy one end of the structure. At the other end, a post-and-beam enclosure in rough-cut pine with a gently pitched roof shelters a table and chairs, a sink with a tap, kitchen cabinetry, a steel wok that operates as a barbecue and sliding screens of cedar slats that minimise the wind. A “solar copse” with six solar panels on three posts heats the pool and powers the pump. The water in the pool comes from tanks on site.
