Featured Project:

Warrandyte

Built to complement a new modern home, this unique and contemporary pool and spa is at the heart of a stunning garden and alfresco that was all completed by the TLC Pools team. Highlights include the limestone herringbone pavers and the firepit area that makes the most of the treescape views.

Red Hill

The TLC Pools’ Red Hill project is a stunning integration of pool, spa, and landscape that embraces the property’s natural beauty. Highlights include an infinity-edge spa, hydronic pool heating, and a sun lounger shelf, each designed to match the homeowners' vision. Despite site challenges like sloping terrain and old roots, TLC Pools used smart techniques—such as rerouting mains power and using deep concrete piers—for a seamless fit. Locally sourced Dromana rock in the fireplace and pergola, along with contrasting materials like Bisazza tiles and filletti paving, create a timeless aesthetic. The result is an inviting, luxurious space for relaxation and gatherings, blending perfectly with the Red Hill landscape.

Ivanhoe

The aim for this iconic Art Deco home on ‘The Hill’ was to update the pool area to have a more contemporary feel. The significant 4m level change between the rear boundary and the house was the greatest challenge on this project. Terracing and greenery has been cleverly used to soften the level change.

Macedon Ranges

Undeniably one of the best properties in the Macedon Ranges with the most spectacular views to Mount Macedon, this luxurious solid bluestone two-storey residence sits on 118 acres, has its own lake and of course, a magnificent pool and garden that looks straight out of a magazine. Whilst the traditionally-styled house and existing garden drove the design aesthetic, the client wanted the pool and pool area to have a contemporary, yet complementary look.

Whittlesea

Set on 100+ acres, this home appears as a modern take on a traditional farmhouse, with the pool and landscape reflecting this with a contemporary yet agricultural look and material selection. The arbour connects to the pool and frames the view beyond, whilst the negative edge on the pool creates the feel of the natural landscape continuing beyond what was created.

Balwyn North

Our Balwyn North project features a family-friendly pool with oversized steps, a sun deck, and curved fencing for added elegance. The outdoor room includes a kitchen, seating, and heating for year-round use. A spacious lawn with a cubby house completes this versatile backyard.

Keilor

The central feature of the landscape is the spa with its 360° negative edge. The black spa tile spectacularly reflects the sky off the surface of the water. The steeply graded nature of the site and limited space meant there was little opportunity for plants, which was countered with a simple but textured palette of materials and feature details like the tiling.

Richmond

Architect Preston Lane's project involved renovating a heritage house and adding a contemporary extension. A key feature was the state-of-the-art swimming pool by TLC Pools.

    Richmond

    Architect Preston Lane's project involved renovating a heritage house and adding a contemporary extension. A key feature was the state-of-the-art swimming pool. The design seamlessly integrates with the modern aesthetic of the extension, wrapping around the corner of the home and creating a perfect view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

  • Modern outdoor patio area with a round reflecting pool, potted plants, water feature, and minimalist decor.

  • Modern house exterior at dusk with outdoor swimming pool, stepping stones, patio furniture, and interior lighting visible through large windows.

    Camberwell

    The clever use of stepping stones maximises this space and allows for two separate sitting areas around the pool. The pool’s positioning against the home means the water view is enjoyable from indoors and out and we even hid the pool equipment behind screens for a seamless outlook.

Rural Builds

  • Modern infinity pool with black tiles reflecting trees and sky, set in a landscaped yard with a brick wall and lush green trees in the background during sunset.

    North Warrandyte

    With a stunning backdrop, the key for this pool and pool area was for it to complement and enhance the rural environment. The materials were meticulously selected to magnify the reflections of the surrounds and the addition of a pool house added to the functionality of the space year round.

  • Round blue-tiled outdoor hot tub with trees and house in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

    Warrandyte

    This project makes a stunning statement and maximises the available space with a circular plunge pool. The pool shape is repeated throughout the landscape and the use of a cohesive blend of natural materials, including rock stairs creates a timeless yet bold garden.

  • Outdoor patio with black metal table and two chairs, potted bushes, a swimming pool, trees, and a green landscape in the background.

    Kangaroo Ground

    A large property with beautiful surrounds, the pool was designed and constructed to maximise the amount of level space surrounding it and to ensure that the vista beyond, whether being viewed from inside or outside of the home, would be uninterrupted by pool fencing.
