By Radley Architectural Design
The clients of this stunning West Coast family home envisioned transforming an underutilised part of their section into a vibrant outdoor haven featuring a sophisticated covered alfresco area and a striking swimming pool. They aspired to create a space where their family could relax and entertain while taking full advantage of the breathtaking coastal scenery. With this in mind, our approach to the project focused heavily on innovative pool design, ensuring the swimming pool would be a central feature that harmonised with the property’s natural surroundings.
Creative design elements and advanced techniques were employed to overcome the restrictive planning constraints typically associated with coastal environments. The pool design incorporated clean lines, a carefully considered layout, and premium materials that not only complemented the home’s architectural style but also adhered to the environmental guidelines. This meticulous attention to detail allowed us to craft a pool and outdoor area that exudes summer vibes while blending seamlessly with the rugged beauty of the West Coast landscape. The result is a visually stunning and functional outdoor retreat, where the pool serves as a focal point, encapsulating the panoramic views and elevating the property's overall appeal.
Radley Design is an established family based Architectural design company based in Tauranga, New Zealand. We specialise in renovation and new build projects focusing on design solutions and space optimisation.
Our world is reliant on how we treat our future, so sustainability is a given factor when approaching new projects. We value Smart Eco Design that not only benefits our environment but also considers the lifestyle and approaches our clients desire.
There’s a lot that comes into the design. It’s not just how the house looks at the end of the day. It’s how it fits within the landscape, how it functions with the owners lifestyle and how it utilises space and its environment. All of these factors need to sit within the clients budget which is something we try really hard to achieve.
We value every relationship and work with owners, developers, project managers and all trades and services. This is right from the onset of initial planning stages to ensure an effective and efficient construction and completion of the project.
