In the park of an estate in Touraine, facing the castle, Steel and Style created a long stainless steel pool. A still body of water, full-width stairs and a wooden deck: the pool blends into the architecture.
A pool facing the castle
The pool stretches along the castle's axis. Its rectangular shape and clean edges echo the lines of the estate buildings.
Full-width stairs
At one end, stainless steel stairs span the full width of the pool. You enter the water gradually, like stepping onto a beach.
A pool for an estate or a character home? We design it with you.
A pool bordered by wood
The pool is flush with a wooden deck along both of its lengths. The lawn and sun loungers complete the pool deck.
To compare stainless steel with other solutions, see our guide stainless steel, concrete or fiberglass pools.
The result
A simple, durable pool worthy of the setting. Water maintenance is detailed in our guide on stainless steel pool water treatment and filtration.
