reinforced concrete.
The mountain pool series of swimming troughs are simple, raw, unadorned and trough-like: an escape from the plastic world of typical pool finishes.
The pools are designed as lap, plunge or lounge types, the inner sides of each trough constructed of formwork made from bare sawn timber or cheap plywood, rough and badly joined planks to achieve a pool wall surface that a blind carpenter would not be proud of. The pool floor is treated in any one of a number of ways, although the bare concrete base finish is best recommended. Brass pool light escutcheons and water inlets with polished concrete edges are options which complete the effect.
The result are concrete tubs commonly with the texture of a timber shack and the colour of a sunburned sea.
