In creating this contemporary swimming pool in Sydney's eastern suburbs, the new pool had to be built inside an existing concrete pool. To achieve this, the existing shell had to be concrete cut, steel reinforcement installed and the floor extensively built up to form the new pool's depths. Concrete spraying was also necessary, and new steps and a ledge area had to be built into the structure.

For several reasons, the construction of this pool was somewhat challenging. For example, the pool is built above an existing garage, which meant access was difficult. In addition, another major challenge was creating an opening from the pool to the home's existing living room, to enable a 2.5m x 1m toughened glass feature window to be installed. To build the window, glass had to be craned up to the site, and four men were needed to do the waterproofing and installation.

The pool itself is 6.2m x 4.5m in size, with an average depth of 1.4m. There is also a separate 4m spa, set amidst an extensively landscaped garden area. The area in which the pool and spa are located is a vital extension to the home's indoor/outdoor living and entertaining areas, and glass fencing maximises the view over the gardens, pool, spa and harbour in the distant.
