Mini-piscine inox TINY face au Bassin d’Arcachon, au Cap Ferret

Piscine Inox

Cap Ferret: a TINY stainless steel mini-pool overlooking the Arcachon Bay

Q: Qu’est-ce qu’une mini-piscine TINY ?

C’est une piscine inox compacte de moins de 10 m², fabriquée sur mesure dans nos ateliers et livrée prête à poser.

Q: Une piscine inox résiste-t-elle au bord de mer ?

Oui. L’inox 316L résiste à l’air salin. Une re-passivation tous les un à deux ans est conseillée en bord de mer.

Q: Peut-on encastrer une mini-piscine dans un jardin ?

Oui. Le bassin peut être enterré, semi-enterré ou hors sol, selon le terrain et l’effet recherché.

Q: Quel traitement de l’eau pour une piscine inox ?

Le chlore, l’oxygène actif et les UV conviennent. L’électrolyse au sel n’est pas compatible avec nos bassins inox.

Q: Combien de temps faut-il pour installer une mini-piscine inox ?

Le bassin est fabriqué en atelier. Sur place, la pose est rapide une fois le terrain préparé. Les délais dépendent du projet.

Cap Ferret: a TINY stainless steel mini-pool overlooking the Bassin d’Arcachon

Location: Villa overlooking the Bassin d’Arcachon at Cap Ferret (33)
Client type: Private individual
Project: Custom-made TINY stainless steel mini-pool
Timeline: Project photos taken in 2016
Features: Stainless steel coping, wooden deck, integration into a dune garden

At Cap Ferret, in the garden of a villa overlooking the Bassin d’Arcachon, Steel and Style installed a stainless steel mini-pool from the TINY range. A compact pool, positioned between a planted dune and a wooden deck, leaving plenty of room for the view.

A garden overlooking the Bassin d’Arcachon

The villa overlooks the Bassin d’Arcachon, its oyster beds and anchored boats. The garden, on a gentle slope, is designed like a dune: sand, grasses, chestnut dune grasses. The project aimed to add a body of water without disrupting this landscape.

The TINY range: a stainless steel mini-pool

TINY is our range of stainless steel mini-pools under 10 m². The pool is manufactured in our workshops from 316L stainless steel: the structure is self-supporting and the waterproofing relies on welds inspected before delivery, not on a liner or coating.

A discreet integration

The pool is recessed into the ground. Its stainless steel coping creates a clean frame, extended by a wooden deck and a walkway that joins the terrace. Around it, the dune plantings have reclaimed their place: the pool appears like a mirror of water set in the garden.

Designed for the seaside

By the sea, the salt air and sand put materials to the test. 316L stainless steel, after pickling and passivation, withstands this environment. Regular re-passivation, more frequent by the sea, maintains its surface over time.

The result

A human-sized pool, to cool off overlooking the Bassin without turning the garden into a construction site or a mineral terrace. To compare solutions, see our comparison of stainless steel, concrete or fiberglass pools.
