A town garden in Bad Tölz, and right in the middle a Living Pool measuring 4 × 8 metres, built with concrete walls and kept clean purely biologically – the technology (Biotop combi box with compact bio filter) sits out of sight in the submersible pump shaft. The edge is framed by coping slabs in light, flamed granite, and surface water is collected by a stainless steel slot drain.
The loveliest detail is the one that carries you: the ipé timber deck is raised – it floats on a substructure above the ground and looks as if it were hovering freely over the water. A thirteen-metre Corten steel edging retains the ground behind it. Next to it lies a planted water lily pond where fish glide by – in the evening, when pool and pond are lit, it is the best spot in the garden.
The pool was built in 2018 – but the story is longer: it began in 2015 with a planting, and after the pool came a tree planting in 2019, parking spaces in 2020 and a light well in 2023 made of smooth exposed concrete wall panels with granite block steps and strip paving. And since 2018 we have maintained the garden every year, from winterising to getting it ready for spring. Built well once, and we have stayed on ever since – that is how we like to work best.
