A pool of ideas - Marlborough residence

Colour has been used in an innovative and artful way to strengthen and highlight the form and space in a new two-storey Marlborough house and pool complex.

The plaster walls, which flank the pool, provide a solid and permanent look. The walls have been finished in two coats of Resene X-200 weathertight membrane and an additional two coats of Resene Lumbersider have been used on selected walls to achieve bold planes of colour.

Resene Swimming Pool Paint, a chlorinated rubber formulation, has been directly applied to the pool's concrete surfaces by roller. A single pack product, Resene Swimming Pool Paint provides a tough, long-lasting and durable surface.

Architect: Abacus Design
