East Fremantle Project 1

Inspired by its East Fremantle location; an eclectic mix of convict chiselled limestone, contrasting old and new architecture, crisp white sandy beaches and native coastal planting combined to create a theme for a robust family orientated landscape.

The landscape design revolved around a large plunge pool creating multiple usable spaces for a family of six. Given the size of the backyard and a need for openness, an off-form concrete pool was proposed utilizing two walls of the pool as part of the isolation barrier. A “moat” of layered planting was introduced between the pool and the alfresco decking creating the illusion of no isolation fence.

The pool has been fully tiled in crisp white Amalfi glass mosaics to echo the white sandy beaches, giving the pool a beautiful turquoise blue. The exterior of the pool has been clad in a rough edged tumbled grey limestone providing a beautiful contrast.
