Two Pools in One

Our Projects
Written By Kim Manunui

This innovative double-infinity design turns a sloping riverside site into a flexible poolscape that offers two pools in one. A novel and really quite sensible use of infinity pool technology.

 

Created as part of a wider home renovation, this striking double infinity pool was designed by Kale Tree Design and delivered in close collaboration with project manager Growfinity Developments.

Set into a sloping site with limited access, the build required careful planning around the pool levels, infinity troughs and balance tank. Construction also had to be staged around the wider renovation and the addition of a new pool house, with several pauses across the 15-month programme.

The finished design reads as one generous body of water, but can operate as two separate pools, creating a novel layered effect through the landscape. From pool level, the upper infinity edge draws the eye towards the lawn, river and pool house beyond.

Despite the complexity behind the scenes, the result is immaculate. The pool sits comfortably within the hillside, connecting the home, garden and pool house with a clear architectural rhythm.

What the client has to say:

"We have had Blair and the team build our dream infinity pool which turned out to be better than what we imagined so highly recommend these guys.

Just amazing to deal with throughout along with fixing some of the teething issues with the complex job and also some post construction service.”

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
