FRENCH FANCY
This beautiful swimming pool was built in a small town next to a fishing harbour. The perfect sphere was designed especially by Diffazur’s
artificial rock department to the client’s exact wishes and is placed in a raised square with a four-sided vanishing edge.
The black coating, the black edge and the LED lights enhance the spectacular reflection of the sphere. It also features top of the
range equipment such as an automatic cleaning system, powerful filtration system, salt chlorination and a heating system to extend the
swimming season.

LOCATION, LOCATION
This entire project has been designed and engineered to be four
feet above ground level to take full advantage of the location.
Complete sophistication and precision are what sets this apart
from others. The horizon is the first thing visitors notice but only
until they notice every joint line in the coping, patio stones and
glass railing are perfectly placed and executed for a continuous
seamless experience.

ON THE LEVEL
This client wanted to use the spa and rim-flow pool together
at the same time while keeping one seamless level of water in
both. Although the pool equipment supplier said it could not be
done, the pool builder implemented a creative use of hydraulics.
By adding an additional 400k BTU pool heater, he was able to
maintain 104-degree temperature in the spa.

MEDIEVAL CASTLE
A swimming pool around this beautiful renovated 16th century
castle was not easy to create. The nature of coping and tiles, the
colour of the pool basin seamlessly integrate this masterpiece that
enjoys spectacular views.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE
This project required extreme attention to detail and engineering
as it is half suspended over the slope of the yard, above the
neighbour’s home below. All of the perimeter edges have a slot
flow zero edge giving a beautiful clean look inviting the viewer
to blend the pool and landscape into the view of the city and
bay beyond. There is a beautiful water feature that also hides an
outdoor shower to the left of the pool and an outdoor kitchen in
the upper left corner. All of the additional landscape features are
blended in to the view beyond.
