Sydney-based pool builder and landscape contractor Transform Pools and Spas has won the most coveted award in the Australian pool and spa industry for 2022: the SPASA Australia National Pool of the Year Award.
The project is a visually stunning pool, spa and landscape using multiple levels and zones to accommodate the owners’ desire to enjoy the outdoor space and entertain with friends
After visiting the site and discussing the requirements with the owners, Transform Pools and Spas director Luke Bruni and his team came back with two designs.
One design was a more formal resort-style pool and landscape, playing off the square lines of the house architecture. But the more creative design went the other way – offering curves and natural lines as a counterpoint to the existing sharp lines.
The more fluid concept, which was based on a leaf motif, was the design that captivated the owners.
The unique leaf motif-based design captivated the owners and ultimately won out in creating a more fluid concept.
The design sits proud out of the ground, enabling it to become the centrepiece of the property, a delightfully curved feature to be enjoyed from every angle.
“We always wanted it out of the ground,” says Bruni. “I wanted it to look like it was floating, so it had to look clean along the edges – there are more than 20 metres of wet edge along the circumference of the pool and spa.”
A lot of time was spent making sure the wet edge was perfect, and many hours were spent on the tiling.
“The challenge was to try and get a curved piece of glass 100 per cent right for the spa spill- over,” says Bruni.
The 15,000 litre ballast tank was situated underground beneath the plant room from where it runs back through the filtration system to the pool.
The owners really wanted a clean look and a low maintenance design that was still in keeping with the rural surroundings.
“They are very keen entertainers, and the main factor, really, was they wanted different zones
for entertaining large groups at various times of the day and night,” says Bruni.
That includes the 150,000 pool, the raised 15,000 litre spa, a tiled beach, seats in the spa and the pool, a curved sunning deck with round steps, plenty of landscaped space around the pool and a fire pit in a sunken well with circular seating around it.

Every day is a good day with Transform pools!
From our first meet, greet and sketch out of our plans to the very last day when we jumped into our custom-made concrete pool for the first time; Luke, Carlie and the team at Transform were without fault. Their expertise in landscaping and pool building was obvious and certainly felt as they made suggestions and tweaks to our ideas. Luke and the other landscapers were professional and clearly knew what they were doing. Every day we swim in or simply look at ou rpool, we remember that everyday is really a god day with Transform Pools.
After purchasing our new home we knew we wanted a pool. We contact Luke at Transform Pools and Spas in late September 2019 to try our luck at getting our pool in before Christmas. Luke and the team made the process totally seamless from start to finish and not only had our pool in before Christmas, but completed our whole rear & side yard landscaping! We are thrilled with the results and can't speak highly enough of Luke and the team at Transform!
Imagine a team of people who treat your project with the same vision as you would. That was the care, dedication and feeling we received from Transform Pools. We wanted to add uniqueness to our newly purchased home and Luke and his team were highly recommended to us by our real estate agent. We have no hesitation in recommending Transform to any prospective client whether it be renovations, newly built dwelling, pool installation, entertaining areas or any required outdoor projects. We are now enjoying our transformed outdoor area and family, friends and guests have complemented on its uniqueness, modern style and entertaining advantages.
