Indoor pool with hidden overflow

Pool with hidden overflow

Working along side high-end developers Huntsmere Projects, Brookforge were asked to design and specify a luxury swimming pool as part of a large contemporary development in Prestbury.

Huntsmere Projects required a detailed technical specification which Brookforge engineered to the highest standard enabling Huntsmere Projects to achieve their goals.

The pool was a shuttered reinforced concrete construction, which included a cave recessed in one wall for an automatic slatted cover. Colour changing LED’s were installed to provide the customer the opportunity to adjust the lighting to suit their moods. The pool shell fittings were constructed in polished stainless steel.

Insulated Indoor Overflow Pool

Insulated Indoor Overflow Pool

Working directly with the end user and their construction team, Brookforge designed, installed and commissioned this indoor overflow pool.

The pool was constructed using our Quadlock Pool ICF shuttering system and benefitted from a very subtle slot overflow channel hidden beneath the copings and surround tile.

The QuadlockPool system enabled one wall of the pool hall to be built directly on top of the pool wall, maximising pool surround space elswhere in the swimming pool building.

The pool featured semi-circular entry steps and submerged bench seating running along the full length of the pool.

The swimming pool and its overflow channel, plus the balance tank were waterproofed with Brookforge’s unique spray applied, flexible tanking membrane.

All the pool shell fittings were made in polished stainless steel and a high flowrate counter current unit was installed in the deep end wall.

As the pool hall had large amounts of glass windows it was critical that a correctly sized, fully ducted air handling unit was installed to ensure that the humidity, air temperature and water temperature were kept at the optimum levels.

Reflecting Pool Water Feature

The client specification was to create a black-tiled reflecting pool with water cascade. The client has small children who will use the pool as a splash pool in the Summer. It was, therefore, imperative that the circulation, filtration and sanitisation system maintained safe levels of water purity.
