Our BLOG: A collection of some of our current works and interesting items. Unlike some of the others around with pools on mountainsides taken from the internet – we actually built these concrete pools here in Perth Western Australia.
Also see our Facebook and instagram feeds on #aquadreampools and @aquadreampools for some of our day to day updates…
September – Floreat/Perry Lakes – Working closely with Austurban Homes to create this amazing pool as the centrepiece of the Dan Cassettai designed home. We had to come onsite to integrate this build as the pool was on the 1st floor rather than ground level with the garage/workshop and lift shaft adjacent below. Staging the works so the alfresco tiling and textured render walls all tied in. The client selected their own custom blend mosaic that utilised a pearl shimmer to add their own unique signature to their pool. Nick Lant and Dan spent significant time intricately tiling the pool to the highest of standards with a final result to be extremely proud of. This pool had the works with a Connect 10 controller to operate the Chemigem, lights and Astral Heat pump from the pool level via touchscreen keypad as all the gear is at basement level. Spa Electric LED lights and Flolux stainless steel fittings to keep the top notch finish. Sunline Glass fencing to the pool area with hydraulic soft close. Really happy the client was willing to go the extra mile on the finishes to create such a unique pool that shows off our love and effort on the workmanship. Love working with the team at Austurban homes as results like this need great teamwork.
August – Como – Built alongside an Atrium home – this client was downsizing from a bigger property with a massive pool, still wanted somewhere to cool off in summer. Neat pool – with some large format 600×300 CTS tiles including trimmed onto the step edges. The cap and paving was a tiled premium stone laid upon full concrete blinding. Blanket box, m500 Dolphin cleaner and a ChemiGem to finish (had a chemigem on his old pool and loved it) Custom Rainbow Quartz mix was made up of 66% Cosmic blue and 33% Pacific blue.
July – Canning Vale – Working alongside Atrium Homes – again going in nice and early pre-slab while there was great access – this big family sized pool with honed concrete surrounds, waterfeature wall (pump room hide) and waterbowls really brightens up the backyard. With 3 kids its sure to be a hit – completed using Trend Mosaics #239 to the waterline and step edges as a premium finish – as well as a deeper colour Pacific Blue Rainbow Quartz interior. Astral Silkflow sheer descent waterfall, Freo stone cladding to the wall, Sunline underground blanket box and fully frameless glass fencing. Chemigem, Astral Sand filter and pump.
June – Waterford – New estate where some beautiful homes are being built. We went in before the house slab went down – found some water down at around the 1.6m level so made sure we put in a hydrostatic valve. Angular block suited an angular design – complete with Travertine Surrounds, black 200x200mm tile, below ground blanket box and fencing by Sunline, Cosmic Blue Rainbow Quartz plaster interior. Client opted for a nice big wading area as they had a little family who would get a great use splashing in the shallows! Finished off with a ChemiGem by Pool Controls, solar heating by SolaSwim, Spa Electric lights, Astral 3 Speed p320 XT pump and sand filter.
May – Claremont – A long time in the making – this backyard transformation totally wiped the canvas clean! Amazing client – who also loves the Paul Bangay look. Cant wait to get some pics when the garden is well established! We used a recycled glass mosaic from Trend mosaics – face peel sheets, from CTS Wangara. They shimmer in the sun and look awesome and the fully tiled steps and seat really set off the premium look! Large limestone/trave pavers and caps in a rustic cut for the surrounds. Blanket box, massive Viron 450 gas heater and a Dolphin M500 Robot with a Pool controls ChemiGem D10 to complete it. Custom Turquoise mix softened with Sandy Beach Rainbow Quartz. Beautiful pool, great client who supplied lots of cuppas!
March – Churchlands – tucked into the new estate this pool adjacent the alfresco is crisp and refreshing. 3 big entry steps to relax on this pool is a good size to heat right up for spa temperature using an Astral JX wall mount heater. Composite decking surround, Storm Trend mosaics from CTS wangara for the perimeter and also upgraded for the step edges – this little detail looks a million bucks!!! Waterwitch top up device, Pool controls Chemigem D10 to make life easy and Spa Electric multi colour LED lights.
January – Woodvale – Threading the needle for this dig! about as narrow an access as you can get with a little machine! Every bit of material down the gap – steel, bricks, lintels – everything! We have done lots of narrow digs and while its a challenge its not impossible! from 3D concept to reality – with a few colour schemes changed along the way. New wall had to fit the new pool fence laws – and hide the fence. Freo stone cladding, paving and CTS tiles, Rainbow Quartz Sandy Beach white plaster. Pool fencing, the lot, all done by us as the client didnt want to micro manage different trades. Amazing client, we were well looked after onsite!
December – Dalkeith – Designed by Paul Bangay this unique pool was part of a big project thats still underway. Imported stone was custom cut and mitred for the pool, 40x40mm Trend mosaics used with a custom Rainbow Quartz Turquoise, Pool Blue and Sandy Beach mix used. Gemini auto salt from Pool Controls, 3 speed Viron p320 pump. Templates used to render the curves precisely! Spa electrics white lights to finish it off.
December – Cottesloe – Lucky to not hit any rock on this job – Neat little pool built in conjunction with a house renovation. Freo Stone Ibiza capping and paving, Ceramic Tile Supplies 200x200mm tiles and Rainbow Quartz Capri soft blue plaster. Chemigem D10, Viron 3 speed pump and a Maytronics Dolphin cleaner to finish!
December – Sorrento – Built for Mondo Exclusive homes display home – this small plunge pool fit neatly into the split level park view yard next to the alfresco and with views from the beautiful custom built home. Finished in CTS 200×200 ceramic perimeter, Rainbow Quartz Hawaii Blue, Spa Electric lights and a custom waterfeature with handmade Stainless steel spouts. Capping and paving in Freo Stone Granite – Ibiza – and Astral sand filter, CTX pump and a Saltigem from Pool controls to finish it off!
*****
December – Iluka – This was a special project! Previously a Beaumonde display home our client wanted the bulky planters and uncovered decking removed so they could build their dream resort Aqua Dream Pool and swim up bar! Having worked with this client many years ago – we worked on 3-4 versions before coming up with the perfect plan. Requiring mini equipment due to the limited access as well as a massive concrete soakwell in the way added to the challenge. Aqua Dream Pools built the walls, Gazebo, planters, paving, screens and fencing as a turn key project. Our client was awesome in trusting us with all of their works so they had a single point of contact. Completion by Christmas – all were happy! This pool had Freo stone paving and cladding, Ceramic Tile Supplies Wangara supplied the 200×200 ceramic Vulcanic ash tiles, Rainbow Quartz Capri blue plaster, Pool fencing, granite benchtop and timber/tile gazebo. Planter beds were all waterproofed, with power, water, data and antenna supplied to the gazebo for multimedia. Screen wall and aluminium powder coat gate to conceal pump room. Equipment included Pool Controls Chemigem D10 to make life easy as well as Spa Electrics WNX PLUS lights on an IRIS remote control including touch control. Cheers Millers it was a pleasure building this for you!
*****
November – Wembley Downs – This pool is the second Aqua Dream Pool for this client – a testament to our work and exactly the client relationship we strive for. This 8.5m x 3.5m Pool sits longways on a narrow 10.5m wide subdivided block. Capri Blue Rainbow Quartz interior. Completed with exposed aggregate and decking to finish at the end of the pool, pool was tiled in Trend 245 Mosaics including custom step edges in the same. A Viron p320 multispeed pump was used along with Pool Controls Gemini fully auto salt and pH system and a Viron 450 Gas heater with blanket box and solar blanket so the pool can be used all year. More pics to come once the gardens establish!
*****
November – Ardross – 6m x 4m pool on a block runs 8m vertically downhill! Made for a challenge in getting the machinery down early in the project for the excavation. Custom Aqua Dream Turquoise Plaster finish and CTS Wangara 200x200mm Vulcanic Ash perimeter tiles to the interior. Chemigem D10 Controller to make life easier. This pool had pump and equipment located well above water level so a series of non return valves were used so that the pump could easily prime. Several stages of plumbing and install was needed as the retaining was built and we stepped up our pipes. Afternoon beers with Craig were enjoyed a few times – great client to work with. Nice new Maytronics Dolphin s150i (builder version of the s200i) Cleaner installed to make light work of the scrub ‘n vac. Keen to get back for a beer and photo once all the landscaping and surrounds are finished off.

October – City Beach – Super happy client – fitting a neat plunge pool in with their brand new Austurban Homes house. Fully gas heated for maximum enjoyment, our clients use this pool all year. Large format waterline tiles from Ceramic Tile Supplies 600×300 and feature pebble waterfall tiles. Bench seat works perfectly as a stepping in combo, complete with spa jets and uplighting. ChemiGem controller, Viron p320 multi speed pump and Viron 250 gas heater.
*****
October – Dianella – 15.3 x 3.6m lap pool with 3m x 2.6m wading/stepping stone area and an interconnected 3.5m x 1.5m reflection pond against the house which is the main view when entering the house. Fully tiled perimeter, wader and pond in Ceramic Tile Supplies Trend 121 Mosaics. Pool blue plaster and honed aggregate surrounds including custom fully tiled plinths and stepping stones. Beautiful pool alongside a stunning Craig Sheiles Home designed by Mick Rule. Letterbox slot for hidden pool blanket on feature wall with Japanese Stone slat mosaics. Massive care and effort to make sure all the render in the intricate areas fits squarely and perfectly to allow the neatest possible tile job – the kind of effort thats hard to write into a quote but the extra time and money is worth it for the premium finish. Its the kind of detail we pride ourselves on and why we are so often referred to our clients friends/family. Pool Controls ChemiGem D10 automatic (our client also had the Chemigem on their previous pool and loved it) and Astral Sand filter to keep it sparkly clear.
*****
October – Balcatta – Happy handover day for our clients finishing their new pool and Atrium Home. Pacific Blue Rainbow Quartz, with Ceramic Tile supplies 600×300 on waterline and on the waterfeature. Chemigem D10 from Poolcontrols and FreoStone Granite cap and paving. Lots of neat tiling and detail in mitring and aligning brickwork then render on the waterfeature so everything fits just right! Look forward to coming back for some pics when the gardens are all done!!
*****
September – Como – at 15.6 x 4m this one can be classed as a lap pool. Running on the boundary of this subdivided block and 2 beautiful new Ian Collins homes, this pool takes the engineered load of the house, retaining and high rise walls. Finished in Capri Blue Rainbow Quartz and large format 600×300 tiles from CTS Wangara, the oversized waterfeatures were used to break up the very tall retaining/boundary which was over 3m tall. Underground blanket box, Astral 3 phase heat pump, full Gemini automatic system from Pool Controls as well as spa jets, remote lights and automatic top up – this pool has the works. Cap and paving in Freo Stone granite.
*****
June – Kallaroo – Second of 2 new pools on this development site alongside 2 new Web & Brown Neaves homes – This 7m x 3m pool encompasses a large bench wading/relaxation area and high rise garden bed to break and soften the fenceline. Finished in honed aggregate concrete with deck and day bed area to show of this clients design flair. Black Pearl Rainbow Quartz was used, with a Pool Controls Chemigem D10 for easy operation while the house was for sale. White Spa Electrics LED WNx was used as well as Vulcanic Ash 200x200mm waterline tile from CTS wangara.
*****
Honed concrete around pools – looks amazing – with some careful considerations regarding expansion, exposed and honed aggregate is becoming more and more popular. Neat finish for a skimmer box shown here as a matching piece of poured concrete made to measure. Perfectly laid Trend Mosaics – only done with a quality product and extreme time taken on the details.
*****
Media Update – Some recent media clips with Aqua Dream Pools – Appearing in “The Sunday Times” with our Swanbourne project, “The West” with our Edgewater project, the cover of Scoop Home Annual with our Perry Lakes Austurban/Dan Cassettai project, and a snap of Dan Cassettai Design taking home the design award for that very project!! See the feed below for more pics of these projects.
*****
April – Nedlands – Working with Craig Sheiles Homes to build this beautiful architecturally designed home and pool – large family pool with Black Freostone granite cap/paving and custom stone screen wall. Finished in Sandy beach white Rainbow quartz, with full Sola Swim pool heating system and automatic Pool Controls Gemini control.
*****
April – Floreat – Perry Lakes Estate – Very limited size on this block of land – we still managed to fit a neat courtyard pool in – by removing the boundary retaining wall to replace it with the pool it meant we could maximise use of the space. Boundary wall built atop and decking to finish. Finished in Rainbow Quartz Sandy Beach, Astral pump and Cartridge filter as well as Pool Controls SaltiGem salt chlorinator. 200×200 mosaic look tiles from CTS Wangara. Large bench seats finish it off to suit a young family with a new baby who will learn to swim here!
*****
March – Manning – Large symmetrical pool to bring the water up to the alfresco – with big bench seat for relaxing. We used a grey 200×200 tile to match in with the exposed aggregate surrounds (by Landscaping Firm) and a fully automatic chlorination system was installed. Large 31″ Astral sand filter, 3 speed Viron Pump to circulate the water. Rainbow Quartz Pacific Blue interior finish to give a deep and vibrant Blue.
*****
March – Cottesloe – On a referral we were asked to help bring this front yard pool up to a modern finish by Matt from Matter of Stone who did the stone and surrounds work. Tired old pool was brought up to brand new again with Rainbow Quartz custom Aqua Dream Turquoise mix! What a transformation!!
*****
February – Wembley – Talk about narrow access! Luckily we could fit the mini bobcat down the side! Grout injection to the patio posts and rear fence to maximise this backyard. Previously it was a dead lawn due to shade from overgrown trees – now this young family have an Aqua Dream Pool, new deck area and big alfresco space to entertain! Wading area entry for their young kids (and for Mum and Dad to kick back and watch them play), 200×200 waterline tile from CTS Wangara, Capri Blue Rainbow Quartz interior for a fresh and inviting colour pool and finished with an engineered and shire approved frame less glass fence by Aqua Dream! The surrounds including the formed edge are exposed aggregate by Luke from Landscaping Firm. These busy clients requested automated equipment to make it easy to manage – so we installed a Gemini Auto salt system from Pool controls which includes liquid chlorine and pH injection backup to cover all bases. The finished result just makes you want to jump right in!
*****
February – Gwelup – Working with our client with their idea for a backyard to be integrated with a new house build – taking their ideas and then designing a practical pool in the space. Their vision was a backdrop waterfeature wall between large planters and a nice long seat to relax on – the right hand side planter acts as the start of the pool fence. Aqua Dream Pools was also contracted to build the double brick and cavity filled walls (to engineer and shire spec), boundary walls to all 3 sides of the property and custom tiling to wall, waterline and step edges. Internal plaster was custom Aqua Dream Turquoise softened blend and the pool surround is a honed aggregate finish and decking platform to the deep end. Pool Controls Chemigem D10 Automatic chlorination and pH unit was installed and also a valve diversion ready for a future electric heat pump should they wish to easily install one down the track.
Thumbs up from the client on handover with Nick Lant (Noka)

January – Finishing off a development site in Kallaroo – 2 pools on a subdivided 900+m2 block – Set amongst a Hamptons theme, this is the first to finish with 200x200mm waterline tile from CTS wangara, big wading area bench seat and planter box. Includes ChemiGem D10 from Pool Controls as the client needed a water management system while the property was for sale.
******
December – Final completion – Wembley – Fitting in with this modern and open single storey home and working with the client to fit their exact needs – this house also overlooks the pool from many angles. A big wading area was specified for parents to relax and most importantly for their young children to play while they learn to swim. Neatly finished with 200×200 white tiles from CTS Wangara, we used Capri Blue Rainbow quartz to finish. Pool is surrounded with grey composite decking and operates on Astral filtration and a Pool controls Chemigem automatic dosing unit. Such a fresh and inviting swimming pool.
*****
December – Swanbourne – Been a busy month finishing off pools for Christmas! What a cool pool! Again, working very closely with the owner to create something that would exactly suit their family and new house. Wrapping around the house and working in with the levels on the block – some heavy duty grout injection was needed to hold up the back retaining. House constructed by Promenade Homes in conjunction with New Home Building Brokers. Custom blend Trend mosaics from CTS Wangara (custom named Gnaraloo mix by our clients who love holidaying there) have been used on the curved seat and steps – very unique curved wrapping bench seat on this one. Interior finish is the Aqua Dream Pools custom Turquoise blend of Rainbow Quartz. Clients selected a twin Badu swimjet system which operates dual 4hp pumps – they recently commented how glad they were to have selected this as its getting even more use than expected! A centreline T was tiled on the floor in front of the jets to keep swimmers on target. Full solar heating system from SolaSwim Osborne Park was installed from the get-go and a Gemini Auto salt chlorination system from Pool controls was used. Beautiful surrounds, hardscapes and landscaping was by Ollie from Q Gardens Landscaping.

December – South Perth – Very unique pool built on 3 sides between the boundary and courtyard of this 2 storey Dalessio Home and also working with New Home Building Brokers. The central courtyard is overlooked from all sides of the house and forms the centrepiece while overlooking the city and river. Finished in custom Aqua Dream Pools Turquoise blend Rainbow Quartz interior. Ceramic Tile Supplies Trend Daintree Mosaics adorn the fully tiled steps and seats to really set off the premium look. Beautiful custom artwork by Hayley Welsh and Millboard rustic composite decking to complete the area. Astral BP series heat pump warms this pool and a Pool Controls Chemi Gem D10 controls the chlorine and pH levels automatically. Great vision by the owners to achieve something quite different to the everyday!

Capri Blue Rainbow Quartz plaster, Trend mosaics from Ceramic Tile Supplies and a Pool Controls Gemini auto salt chlorination system to finish it off. Looking forward to revisiting site to get some photos of the fully finished surrounds. These pics are from when first filled so the water hasnt gone sparkly blue yet! 
*****
November – West Leederville – This stunning infinity edge pool was built while working closely with Craig Sheiles Homes. Acting as retaining as it backs onto a laneway, grout injection was needed as well as a sewer diversion. House piers rest upon the pool shell so additional engineering was required. Large 600×300 Turquoise tiles finish the perimeter, wet wall and fully tiled steps. Pool complete with Viron P320 3 speed pump, Pool Controls Gemini Auto salt/ph controller, Waterwitch auto top up device and Dolphin M500 Robotic pool cleaner. Custom Rainbow Quartz interior with a softened Turquoise Aqua Dream Pools blend. So happy with the end product which was 2 years in the making from design, shell build, house build then completion! Pic below showing concept 3d model next to finished pool.

October – Mt Pleasant – Designs on this new home and pool commenced in May 2013 as we worked through 6 versions to get it just right. The pool went in before the house at the rear of this 10m wide block and effectively retained the 600mm height change at the rear. Atrium worked on completing the house and mid 2015 external completion was reached and we were able to commence our finishing and landscaping works. The client requested a custom blend of mosaics and Paul Robins from Ceramic Tile Supplies helped build 3 samples to send over, while we provided imagery of the same swatch in the 3d concept to show the client exactly what to expect. Deck jets were installed and Freo Stone Light Roma Travertine for the perimeter, paving and high rise fascia. Face attached glass finishes this job off and looks amazing. Filtration consists of Astral 25″ Cantabric sand filter and p320 Viron multi speed DC pump, with a Pool Controls Chemigem D10 to control the sanitation and pH of the pool autonomously. Looking forward to returning soon for some pics of the completed Gardening and planting ! Thanks Jason and Sarah very much for your kind words in your testimonial – its much appreciated!

July – Floreat – In collaboration with Austurban Homes – recent completion on the Banks residence with much of the pool works completed with the client away – we have used Deep Blue mix on film from Ceramic Tile Supplies on both the perimeter and tread trims, Pacific Blue Rainbow Quartz interior, Bermuda Shell from FreoStone for cap and paving. The pool is fully automatic as the client is often away – so a Gemini automatic salt Chlorinator with ORP and pH sense and dose from Pool controls was recommended and installed. Aqua Dream Pools also installed the fully frameless glass fencing as pool fences require licensing, engineering and building approval. Cheers Mr. & Mrs. Banks and congratulations on an amazing new pool and house!

5 March – Iluka – Big family pool 9m x 4.5m with CTS Trend Storm Mix mosaics, Pacific Blue Rainbow Quartz, Freo Stone capping. We used a big long seat to step the pool over the retaining wall (this block is on high side) and ran the seat into the waterfeature. Also put a nice big wading area/ seat near the entry steps, tiled the top step and finished it with a waterfeature and planter boxes. This pool had solar heating, an automatic Gemini salt/chlor/pH controller, 3 speed pump and top of the range M5 Supreme Dolphin cleaner. Great job, another awesome client.
