Description:
The Schnell family’s natural pool was a particular logistical challenge for the company who built it. Access to the property was a problem. For this reason a wooden platform had to built, on which all the machines and construction materials were hoisted. The stone blocks for the almost 20 meter long natural stone wall weighed several tons. To make matters worse, construction was accompanied by heavy rainfall. The head of the construction team outlined the dimensions of the swimming area, regeneration zone and the dock with chalk on the ground, and in the end the garden owners were extremely satisfied with their pool. It turned out to be even more beautiful than expected. The stepping stones across the pool are not only visibly attractive, but are used regularly to get to the sundeck.
