NZ Pools Win Dealer Pool Profile Spring 2025
We are excited to congratulate NZ Pools as the proud winner of the Spring 2025 Leisure Pools Dealer Pool Profile competition for their incredible installation of The Acclaim 12.00m in Shimmer White. This stunning project perfectly captures the essence of family living – blending sophistication, functionality, and thoughtful design to create an outdoor retreat that’s both stylish and serene.
Nestled in a beautiful natural setting, The Acclaim 12.00m serves as the heart of a versatile family oasis. From the outset, the project was guided by the client’s vision to create space that balances relaxation, entertainment, and year-round usability.
- The Acclaim 12.00m in Shimmer White: A spacious fibreglass pool designed to support swimming, relaxation and entertaining as part of a family-friendly outdoor retreat.
- Pool and landscape integration: The pool works naturally with the site’s sloping terrain, with multiple entertaining zones for dining, lounging and play flowing across the backyard.
- Thoughtful privacy and outdoor design: Timber and block wall screening, hedging, glass pool barriers and a raised timber deck create privacy, safety and an open connection to the surrounding landscape.
- Innovative design features: A custom steel-framed pavilion and shade structure, changing nook and concealed pool cover system add functionality while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
- Spring 2025 Leisure Pools Dealer Pool Profile winner: NZ Pools transformed a challenging site with limited access and sloping terrain into a functional family sanctuary through careful planning, collaboration and innovative pool design.
Designed to Suit a Family Lifestyle
When the homeowner began planning their outdoor space, their brief was clear; a family friendly retreat to be enjoyed in all seasons. They envisioned a pool large enough to accommodate swimming, relaxing, and entertaining, with plenty of space for everyone to gather and make memories.
The Acclaim 12.00m in Shimmer White answered this brief perfectly – it’s clean lines, spacious design, and timeless appeal providing the ideal balance of form and function for an active and social lifestyle.
Masterfully Integrated into the Natural Landscape
This stunning installation takes full advantage of the site’s sloping terrain. Instead of viewing the slope as a limitation it was transformed into a design opportunity. The layout respects the natural contours of the land while incorporating multiple distinct entertaining zones for dining, lounging and playing that flow naturally across the backyard.
Timber and block wall screening not only provides privacy and wind protection but also adds texture and contrast to the space. The raking fence follows the land’s natural slope effectively minimising its visual impact and allowing the pool area to feel spacious and connected rather than fenced off.
Unique and Innovative Design Elements
Several features set this project apart, including the custom-engineered steel framing for the pavilion. The custom steel-framed shade structure and changing nook add privacy and functionality, while the raised timber deck cleverly hides the pool cover system.
The raised timber deck consoles the pool cover and serves as a comfortable space for lounging, while turf around the pool area creates extra space for play and family activities. The glass pool barriers maintain clear sightlines, preserving an open feel throughout the outdoor environment, while strategic hedging enhances privacy and offers protection from the elements, creating a sanctuary for the family.
Each element was carefully selected to maximise comfort, safety, and aesthetics. This innovative approach demonstrates how thoughtful design can transform a challenging site into a stunning, functional outdoor haven.
Overcoming Challenges Through Collaboration
This project presented several logistical challenges, including limited site access via a narrow, single-lane driveway shared by multiple homes. Coordinating deliveries and construction required careful planning to avoid disruption to the neighbours. Materials were transported using a flat-deck truck, and a crane was deployed to lift and place the pool into position. These precise logistics were critical to keeping the project on track while considering the surrounding area.
From the initial design stages to the finishing touches, the NZ Pools team worked closely with the homeowners and trades to ensure the space reflected their ideal lifestyle and aspirations for space. This transparent and communicative process resulted in a project that reflects a personal journey for the homeowners and the enhancement of the property with the addition of a striking outdoor sanctuary.
More Than Just a Pool — A Lifestyle Enhancement
The Acclaim 12.00m pool goes beyond being a summer cool-off spot. It serves as a vibrant hub for connection, ease of outdoor living and family togetherness. Whether it’s for gatherings, family fun, or quiet evenings by the water, The Acclaim adds a new dimension of joy and comfort to everyday life.
Leisure Pools congratulates the NZ Pools Ltd team on this outstanding achievement. Their dedication to achieving the homeowner’s dream, innovation, and dedication to client satisfaction shine through in this remarkable project. We eagerly await the creation of future projects that continue to inspire and elevate outdoor living throughout Wellington.
