Not every pool we build is new. This one in Greiling near Bad Tölz was already there – and had reached the end of its life. So we stripped it right back to the base: 33 cubic metres of old concrete foundation removed, the old liner disposed of. Then the rebuild: a new foundation slab with ring beam, a brick-built shaft for the counter-current system, and a cistern too.
None of that is visible today – and that is exactly the point. What you see is the light natural stone slabs in a large Roman bond around the pool, the Jura limestone seating stones that frame the water as a 17-metre seating wall, a mortared quarry stone wall and large granite block edging. Add to that a young hedge of seventeen large thuja specimens and 250 m² of turf – built in six months, from January to July 2021.
A pool renovation is the ultimate discipline in working with existing structures: the new has to suit what has grown over time, from the old fruit tree to the hedge. More on the different pool types: Water in the garden.
