This project in Cassà de la Selva involved building a perimeter-overflow concrete pool within the grounds of a traditional farmhouse with a garden. The calm contemporary design respects the character of the property, allowing the water to settle into the landscape without competing with the farmhouse.
The design began with a clear idea: to create an elegant, practical pool connected to the setting’s natural materials and spacious garden. Clean geometry, pale finishes and visual continuity produce a balanced composition where water is central without overpowering the space.
A key solution is the perimeter overflow with balance tank. This construction keeps the water level precise and gives premium concrete pools a clean appearance. The channel collects overflowing water and creates a continuous perimeter that reinforces order and horizontality.
The interior is finished in pale grey porcelain, adding light, restraint and a natural water colour. It works particularly well with stone, planting and traditional architecture, avoiding harsh contrasts while offering excellent performance in refined outdoor projects.
The project also includes a shallow sun shelf used to conceal the automatic slatted cover. This integrates an important practical feature without disrupting the pool’s appearance. The cover remains protected and discreet when not in use.
The built-in steps follow the same construction language and preserve continuity. A spacious outdoor deck supports everyday use and creates a comfortable transition between garden and water. Discreet LED lighting extends enjoyment into the evening.
Technical features include an automatic cleaning system and integrated plant room, keeping the installation organised without compromising the setting. The result is contemporary yet respectful of the farmhouse, designed for comfort, performance and thoughtful architectural integration.
