will never forget our first home pool. We lived in north Queensland – it was hot, humid and a pool was a necessity, or so, as a teenager, I told my parents.

One day I arrived home from school to discover a huge hole dug out in the backyard.

That afternoon is now one of my most memorable childhood moments. The tropical-inspired pebblecrete pool was a haven and the greatest gift, which gave us so many happy moments as a family.

Now, as a parent, it is my turn to pass on those beautiful memories of weekends spent in the backyard pool.

My husband and I have quietly started the planning process and cannot wait to surprise our little boy in the coming months.

During our research, we have discovered there is so much more to installing a pool than first meets the eye. Planning, location, fencing, hardscaping, landscaping, drainage, safety… the list goes on. It is a timeconsuming, yet exciting project.

For those homeowners embarking on their own pool project, this month we offer 10 pages of ideas and tips to get you started.

Enjoy!

Winter is the ideal time to start planning your pool project. Turn to page 18.

FEATURE STORY//

DREAM

design As the nation’s best in home design prepare for the prestigious 2021 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards, we take a walk through a Sunshine Coast home that has already been declared a winner thanks to its innovative renovation.

THE PROJECT

SNAPSHOT 6 beds 3.5 baths Pool Builder: @shorelineconstructions Designer: @garland.design Electrician: @rick.hatherall Formwork: @_formplus Cabinetry: @trendsetkitchensgympie Landscaping: @pippisplants Interior Design: @thehouseofrays @styletospace TIP: Follow Garland Design for inspiration for your own renovation. Building designer Jasmin Garland’s projects are simply stunning. Her work is contemporary, and well planned.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING The design lends itself to the Sunshine Coast’s beautiful weather and takes advantage of the location by incorporating a cohesive link between the internal and external living areas. The dining space is bordered by wide retracting doors, ceiling-high windows and glass panelling.

Not only does this create a feeling of space, but it calls on the biophilic principles of living as one with the environment.

When the owners of this early 1980s double brick and concrete house approached Shoreline Constructions, little did they know their dream home would be named as the best renovation/addition project at the 2020 Queensland Housing Awards, let alone up for the national title.

There was no expense spared for the extensive renovation of this Sunshine Beach home – the project came in over the $1 million mark and took around two years to complete.

HIA’s awards program provides home builders and designers the opportunity to receive recognition, and showcase their work to the broader industry. The annual awards cater for entrants ranging from small family-owned businesses right up to the biggest names in the residential building industry and recognise quality workmanship, design excellence and innovation.

Did you know that quality landscaping creates emotional connection to a property? It can also add value. A 2013 Perth study found that a broad-leafed tree on a street verge in front of a home increased the median property price by about $16,889, while a Brisbane study found leafy streets could add up to $29,000 above the median asking price.

tip When working with your design team, be sure to consider the flow of your home. Do you want a connection with outside? If so, create spaces that link to alfresco areas, hidden gardens and nooks, or decks.

ENTERTAINER’S DELIGHT IN THE DETAIL The relationship between the footprint of the home, and the outdoors has been thought through every step of the way.

Whether it is via large glass panels, balconies or doors, the designers have maintained that connection to ensure smooth transition between the indoors and outdoors. We love the inclusion of raw timber and wood panelling incorporated into the home. Added details such as the timber screen outside this bathroom give this home the wow factor.

This home is built to entertain. From the stunning pool area and landscaped lawn, to this alfresco dining space, there are a multitude of locations throughout the property to enjoy.

When planning your renovation, keep your preferences in mind. Do you enjoy outdoor living?

Do you like to entertain? Do you prefer raw materials over concrete and tiles? Making these decisions and working through each point with your builder will ensure you end up with a home that not only works for your needs, but that you love.

After a long time in lockdown, and that lockdown having sent many people to work from home, there has suddenly formed an onus on architects and designers to make workplaces more focussed and aware of wellness.

If you haven’t yet heard of the term ‘biophilic design’, you soon will as it continues to garner a substantial following. Although it has been around since the 1980s, this design principle is only now gaining moment in the wake of COVID-19, which made many feel disengaged from the environment.

In brief, biophilic design is how you engage nature in your environment. It’s about incorporating the outside world into the inside world, harnessing plants and design elements from the natural world.

The concept functions through three different bases: the nature of space, the nature in space, and natural analogues.

What’s more, research indicates there are many wellness benefits that come from incorporating natural elements into your living, work and

educational environments.

After all, in terms of evolution, living as one with nature is ingrained in our blood.

In the scale of time, humans are relatively new to the concept of living life indoors.

volleyball in Venice Beach, California, Cory Walker is an architect who is highly regarded in professional circles for his ‘wellness innovations’ in the field. His firm was launched in February 2020, just before the pandemic hit.

I spoke with Cory recently on my podcast, talkdesign.show, and he shared several ideas for how the office spaces and homes of the future could embrace nature to improve our general wellbeing.

Speaking on biophilic design, Cory said that people were meant to be in union with nature.

“One of the biggest things you could do is bring nature inside of your home. Get a bunch of plants and take care of them and have them thrive and it will make your mind thrive.”

He said static nature is good for wellness, as is dynamic nature, taking a break from work and walking in a park.

“Experiencing (dynamic nature) is super healthy,” he said. “Surrounding yourself with nature would be a first step, and it’s the most economically reachable.”

Bringing nature into the world of architecture is also important.

“Coming home should be something that feels good and you’re proud of… that’s the first step of wellness.”

Renovators Jimmy and Tam Wilkins IMAGE: BRIGHTON HOMES

Sunshine Mitre 10 celebrated the opening of the new flagship store at Nambour on Saturday, July 24 with The Block TV star Scott Cam, as well as 2020 series winners Jimmy and Tam Wilkins there to celebrate.

Sunshine Mitre 10 general manager Neil Hutchins says it is exciting to see the new 13,000-square metre site open.

“The store will employ 40 staff and offer the latest variety of products to our retail and trade customers,” Mr Hutchins says.

Sunshine Coast residents Jimmy and Tam, together with much-loved television personality Scotty Cam, joined together to cut the ribbon to officially open the store, before chatting with fans who joined in the celebrations.

With 19 stores throughout

Enhance Your Property’s Value

Queensland, Sunshine Mitre 10 is one of the largest independently operated and owned hardware suppliers in Queensland.

It is also one of the oldest surviving businesses here on the Coast, celebrating its 110th milestone this year. Established in 1910 by Walter Lanham, W Lanham & Sons Saw Mill was built on Price Street in Nambour. The business eventually shifted to its current location on Court Road in 1945, and by 1975 became known simply as Lanhams.

Meanwhile a little way down the road, the Melville family-owned business Melco had spent the past 20 years supplying Noosa and surrounds with timber and builders’ hardware.

Realising a demand in the market, it became apparent to Keith, John and Mark Melville that in order to reach new heights, they needed to be associated with a national brand.

The Melco business joined the Mitre 10 group, and with the expansion, they invested in a new purpose-built space. Located on Venture Drive, in Noosa, the store was called Melco

Mitre 10. The year 2008 saw the merger between both the Melco and Lanhams companies, creating an entity that was previously known as MelcoLanhams and today is known as Sunshine Mitre 10.

Fast forward to 2021 and the company now has stores across Brisbane, including Eagle Farm, Bundaberg, Caloundra, Coolum, Cooroy, Dalby, Gympie, Kawana, Kingaroy, Kunda Park, Mareeba, Nambour, Noosa, Roma, St George and Weipa.

“We have been steadily expanding over the past few years, with new sites in Bundaberg, St George, Brisbane City and now a flagship in Nambour,” Mr Hutchins says.

“This new Nambour location is special, because Nambour is where the company’s 110-year history began. So, it is great to see this new store, which will support our retail customers as well as the increasing demand on the Sunshine Coast for trade supplies.

“Sunshine Mitre 10 already employs more than 400 staff across

HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT DECK If you have space, a well-designed deck is a great way to add extra entertaining room and value to your house. Sunshine Mitre 10 provides the following advice on creating your own space at home.

STEP 1: DESIGN Deck design is a personal choice, but site location will come down to a few factors.

You may need to build a hillside deck on a sloping block, or an isolated deck around a pool or a garden feature like a gazebo.

A great way to add extra space to a family room or living area is a low-level deck extension for that inside/outside feel.

Handy tip: Most decks require council approval so make sure you do your research and if you are unsure, it’s always best to check.

STEP 2: ASPECTS TO THINK ABOUT Start thinking of how you want the deck to work for you. Ask yourself questions such as, how big is the table you want to put on the deck, do you want shade or sun, do you need stairs or safety railings, does it need a roof, will you need power (think waterproof power points), do you need lighting or blinds, do you want the deck

to have easy access to the kitchen, do you want a quiet deck or is it an extra play area for the kids? All of these considerations will change the position, shape and idea of your perfect deck.

STEP 3: DECKING BOARDS The next step is to decide which way you want the decking boards to run, parallel to the house or even diagonal. Also take into account the finish you prefer.

The deck should be coated with something that will help protect it from the elements.

STEP 4: PLACEMENT PLANNING Familiarise yourself with your preferred deck area to prepare. You may need to remove trees or obstructions or level out the land. Drainage may be required as well, you may need to put in ag pipes so the surface water doesn’t pool underneath the deck. Weed control matting can also be a good idea.

STEP 5: GETTING READY TO BUILD Accuracy in the planning stage is going to save you a lot of pain later on. Don’t rush this part, as it will ensure a great

COMMISSION WORK A CREATIVE SPACE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST PRODUCING result. Make a copy of your house plan and draw the deck on to it to get the scale right. Mark out the width and length of the deck where it will meet the house. Make a note of any doors, windows and easements and a special note of plumbing and electrical lines meet the house.

If you are not confident making the drawings yourself, a draftsperson can help you with design drawings and technical specs.

Once you know what you want to use the deck for, and have it mapped out with approval from the council, you can start to build.

POOLS //

THE PRICE IS RIGHT When it comes to planning a pool project, the first step is to identify your budget and the second is to compare quotes. Comparing pool quotes can be a little like comparing apples and oranges, says Poolfab Pool and Landscape Creations managing director Sean Lynch.

“The promise of a cheap price and a quick deal can seem alluring, but do you know what your quote actually includes? Cheap materials, poor craftsmanship and an unfinished pool, can put a damper on your poolside fun. A professional pool builder will provide a detailed quote that explains all of the components needed to install your pool. Most importantly, you won’t have to call different subcontractors to finish the job.”

Here are Mr Lynch’s four fundamental questions to ask when comparing pool quotes.

Images: Poolfab Pool and Landscape Creations

1. Does your pool quote include council approval?

Adding a pool to your home requires building approval from your local council. To avoid delaying the construction process, find a pool builder who includes the council’s tick of approval in their quote. If they don’t, you will have to organise the documentation yourself and front any extra fees.

It pays to check if your pool builder also includes insurance or warranty for the project.

The right poolside professionals will have Swimming Pool and Spa Association (SPASA) accreditations and be able to provide peace of mind with a warranty for your investment.

2. Does your pool quote include landscaping?

Building a pool should be more than just putting a concrete hole in the ground. A pool should reflect an oasis, a place you can relax on a summer afternoon. It will be your welcome relief to a long working week. Best of all, it will be a place of endless entertainment for the family, providing lifelong memories to treasure.

So, how does your concrete slab turn into the pool of your dreams? Landscaping.

The right landscaping will provide a dramatic difference in the appearance of your pool. The paving, the plants and the poolside materials all contribute to the process of turning your pool from drab to fab. Make sure when you are comparing pool quotes that you check whether each quote includes landscaping.

This way, your pool will be the finished product that you envision.

3. Does your pool quote include fencing?

One of the most important aspects of your pool is being able to keep your family safe. Ask your pool builder whether the fencing is following Queensland laws and whether it is a temporary fixture. Some pool quotes will only include a temporary fence and will expect you to organise someone to finish the job. Does the pool builder include a safety gate or certificate on completion?

Avoid being caught on the fence and choose a pool builder who has your family’s safety in mind.

Included in your quote should be any equipment needed to keep your pool looking spick-and-span.

The handover to your pool should also include a complete lesson on how to maintain the pool.

As a bonus, look into whether you have the option to make your pool eco-friendly and what practises they are putting in place to do this.

Building the pool of your dreams is a major investment for your family. Look for the pool builders who provide a turnkey product with a detailed quote you understand. While the prices may vary between pool quotes, it is important the quote includes all of the features you expect.

4. Does your quote include how to clean?

EXPERT ADVICE //

BACKYARD INSPIRATION design dream With Cassandra Fenaughty Cassandra Fenaughty is a landscape architect with more than 20 years’ experience. She is the founder and owner of an innovative renovation design consultancy, creating photo-real renovation concepts for clients looking to visualise their dream renovation before it begins. For more visit cassandrafenaughty.com.

With the cooler weather, it’s a great time to get outside in the garden and get your outdoor areas ready for when the temperature warms up.

There is nothing worse than slogging it out in your backyard in the middle of summer, so I thought it might be a good time to showcase a recent backyard concept design to give the readers out there some inspiration.

This design aimed to keep the existing alfresco and pool area, but update the space in a more aesthetically pleasing way and create some more recreational opportunities for the family.

Starting from the base up it was important to create a design with new tiles and boundary works to create a better backdrop.

When we looked at the large existing expanse of tiled alfresco area, we realised that the backyard only had a small amount of grass and a lot of hardstand that was never actually used. We decided to minimise the tiled area and increase the turf zones so there were more soft spaces for the children to play. The new tile

CURRENT POOL selection works with the interior palette of the home which is important to ensure a good indoor and outdoor flow.

The back fence and neighbouring house needed screening so we included a lilly pilly hedge and some planting along the rear boundary. The side fence needed replacing and the existing pool water feature was disused, so we swapped it out for a long planter box and new stained timber fence to provide softening

and a lush backdrop to the pool.

There was also a pool pump that needed screening. A faux vertical fencing screen was added to hide the pool pump and include a pool storage area with bench seating and a retractable pergola over a new outdoor spa.

The client wanted to include a spa but there wasn’t a lot of room and the shape of the pool made it difficult to include a traditional square

ask us or rectangular spa. A circular cedar style tub spa was selected and not only does this fit into the space well, it also creates an on-trend feature in the pool area.

The increased turf zone afforded us the room to include another item on the client’s wishlist, which was a fire pit. We designed the

fire pit to have the ability to be swapped out as a feature plant box or solar-powered water feature reservoir in the summer.

The fire pit also provided an opportunity to add feature shelving, which breaks up a large blank rendered patio wall. This shelving area contains pre-cut firewood to bring warm timber

tones into the design. It also works well with the cedar tub finishes.

As you can see, the photo-real concept design not only beautifies the space, it also adds more outdoor entertainment and play opportunities for the entire family. It’s a win-win that everyone will enjoy.

UPDATING YOUR POOL Keen to increase your pool’s wow factor? There are a few tips and tricks to follow to give your pool new life – and bring it into the here and now.

A pool renovation can make a huge difference to the appearance of your backyard, whether it’s a tranquil retreat or for entertaining. Let’s face it, your pool is normally the highlight and centrepiece of your landscaping design.

As technology keeps evolving, so has the materials used in and around your swimming pool. Even a quick and cost effective renovation will enhance the value.

The experts at Coast-Wide Pool & Spa Service offer the following tips: 1. Older swimming pools were rough on the skin,

due to the size of the stone which was the only option available to use for pebblecreting at the time. Nowadays stone is much smaller; only one to two millimetres, which creates a much smoother feel under foot.

2. When you add glass beads to the mixture, it will allow a smoother finish, not to mention a stunning shimmer to your pool water.

3. Lighting and filtration has also come a long way in the past decade. Adding new lights will make it more economical and provide another element during the night with the use of multi-coloured LED lights, meaning your pool is still a focal point even in the dark.

did you know?

Roy Morgan research from 2018 shows nearly 2.7 million Australians live in a house with a swimming pool. Regional Queensland, which includes the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, and a string of regional cities up the coast such as Bundaberg, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns, leads the nation. Twenty percent of regional Queenslanders live in a house with a swimming pool.

BRITE DECK PROMOTION

NextGen Titanium is the decking of the future Love the idea of installing a timber deck but don’t have the time to commit to the associated maintenance?

The two biggest challenges for any deck is structural integrity and the ability to withstand the elements.

S

ynthetic decking is fast becoming Australia’s go-to material. A relatively new product in terms of the building industry – it’s been used here for the past 15 years – it is durable, long-lasting and requires little maintenance.

PVC is the highest manufactured plastic in the world. It is a strong, synthetic material that is easy to maintain, making it perfect for decking. Bring in the added element of ASA (acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile) capping, and you can’t go wrong.

This flagship product has the appearance of natural wood but contains minimal wood content, which means it comes without issues of fading, scratching or staining.

As Brite Decking’s founder and technical director Steven Scott says, “it is a combination of the best features of both wood and polymer”.

Considered one of the most natural looking composite decking materials in the world, BriteDeck’s NextGen Titanium has quickly gained a reputation as the product of choice for carpenters and DIY-ers alike.

Built upon a PVC composite core, the Titanium collection is wrapped in a double protective layer of ASA, a remarkable material that preserves the mechanical properties of the foundation material.

“One of the newest and most interesting materials out there, ASA is the best synthetic material available,” Mr Scott says.

“PVC decking products incorporate the

easy to maintain plastic material with UV-

ARABICA

PACIFIC MERBAU

The benefits of investing in PVC-ASA decking resistant, and low-maintenance ASA resin.

“This ASA layer provides unparalleled protection against weathering, stain and fading. It offers a double protective skin providing maximum protection against stains, cracking, mould and mildew, adding the elements for an extra-long life.

“Each board is absolutely unique in appearance, creating a brilliant visual experience that will redefine any outdoor space. Thanks to ASA’s remarkable outdoor weatherability, it can retain gloss and mechanical properties, as well as maintain its original colours. Best of all, our Titanium range is backed by a 30-year warranty.”

style, the Titanium’s high PVC content means

minimal water absorption, making it ideal for use in a pool area, or outdoors.

“Australia has the highest UV and harshest sun on the planet. The sun is the number one cause of board disintegration and associated decking issues.

“The solution is in the Titanium board which uses the ASA capping – a product designed to eliminate disintegration of material due to sun exposure. It has ten times the weathering and UV resistance.

“Our ASA boards are BAL-29 (bushfire attack level) certified and contain fire retardants that stop the spread of flames.

Plus they have been tested under 6000 hours of UV exposure with incredible results.”

• Low-absorption, ideal for installations around swimming pools • Stain-resistant - will not hold onto moisture which encourages staining • Mould resistant • Increased strength • Will, not rot, warp, stain, fade, scratch.

The Titanium range is available in two sizing options. The traditional profile is 140mm (w) x 24mm (t) x 5.8m (l), while the wider profile is 210mm (w) x 24mm (t) x 5.8m (l), and is the widest premium composite available on the market.

PLANTS Do your research and talk to local nursery experts to ensure you invest in pool friendly plants. Opt for slow-growing species that don’t have complex root systems that may interfere with hardscape elements such as the pool or concrete. Our favourite poolside plants include palms, cordyline, bird of paradise and agave. Container plants are also a great idea.

Image: Poolfab Pool and Landscape Creations

HARDSCAPING vs LANDSCAPING When planning your pool project, be sure to factor in landscaping costs which, more often than not, cost just as much as – if not more than – the actual pool.

Finishing touches can range from drainage to fencing, concreting, paving, planting, turfing, furnishings and decking. Yes, when it comes to

finalising your project, there is plenty to do.

Once you have finalised your budget, the key is to produce a cohesive pool environment.

Your goal should be to achieve a balance between hardscaping (for example, concrete fixtures) and landscaping (planting).

Here are a few aspects to consider.

LIGHTING Pool lighting has a number of purposes. It enhances the aesthetics of both the pool and surrounding area, but it also provides safety. LED lights, which are available in a variety of colours, are by far the most popular in-pool choice. For external lighting, you should speak to a qualified electrician about your plans as you may require additional earthing, particularly if lights are installed in a fence.

MAINTENANCE

There is a great range of outdoor furniture to choose from and it is worth taking the time to shop around. Take into account materials, warranty and durability. The Queensland sun can be harsh, and you don’t want your sunlounge to fade within months. Be sure to also think about aesthetics when selecting furnishings to create a space of comfort and beauty. Consider colours and textures.

The decorative wall panelling, or flowering shrub might look pretty, but have you considered the maintenance? When planning your overall look, think about the upkeep. Some landscapes look stunning, but do you have the time to clean and maintain?

Whether you choose a waterfall, spouting sconce or bubbling jets, it’s important to make the decision in the early planning stages. Keep in mind that a water feature should also be included in your overall pool quote.

Such a simple yet stylish idea. All it takes is a wood panel or wall, a couple of stylish hooks and a splash of paint. We love the Brass Twin-Palm hook pictured. Visit pineappletraders.com.au.
