Keilor

The design brief at this Keilor residence was to construct a more user-friendly and modern garden to the yard which previously had been used a lot but not as much these days in the layout it existed in. A swimming pool was in the yard but hardly got used, so it was decided to utilise the pool as water storage as an underground water tank.
What would be a big problem for some, we took in our stride to come up with a solution that would be user-friendly, safe and long lasting.

2.jpgThe decking was constructed over the top of the old swimming pool, after being covered with a special sheeting. 80% of the downpipes from the house was redirected to the pool, with an overflow connected to stormwater and a pump added so the water can be used around the garden or within the house.
 
3.jpgThe pond was completed by adding more pebbles and surrounding with mudstone boulders. All of the materials had to be moved in by hand as there was only narrow access to the site.
