This bespoke pool in Begur forms part of a modern home in a privileged Costa Brava setting, with open views of the sea and Mediterranean landscape. The design is visually clean, integrated with the timber deck and comfortable to use, with technical elements kept from disrupting the architecture.
The solution is an overflow pool with a balance tank, but without an infinity effect. Site conditions prevented a deeper overflow channel, so a more restrained and precise system was tailored to the available space. It keeps the water close to paving level and connects pool, deck and views without forcing an unsuitable construction detail.
A defining feature is the internal timber sun shelf within the pool. It provides a pleasant transition from deck to water and a place to sit, relax or cool off without fully entering the pool. Timber adds warmth and continuity with the outdoor floor while elegantly concealing the cover.
The internal pool cover is concealed beneath the timber shelf, keeping mechanisms out of sight. It is discreetly stored when not in use; when extended, it adds protection and safety while reducing evaporation and heat loss.
The mosaic interior gives the water depth and changing reflections in natural light. Together with the timber deck and sea beyond, it balances architecture, water and landscape. This is not just a decorative pool but a comfortable, technically well-resolved outdoor space for everyday use.
Underwater lighting extends use into the evening and strengthens the presence of the water. Discreetly integrated lights add atmosphere without detracting from the pool geometry or deck.
The result is a contemporary bespoke pool tailored to a modern Begur home. Every choice meets a need: integrating the overflow, concealing the cover, adding warmth through timber and maintaining a natural relationship with the Costa Brava setting.
