Below ground drainage design
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

Having worked on this property many years ago, our team was re-engaged to design the drainage system for a new natural swimming pond, transforming the part of the back garden into a space for wild swimming.

The natural pool bought the following benefits:

Improved air quality
Enhanced amenity.
Increased biodiversity
Eliminated the need for harsh chemicals typically needed for a pool.

The sloping topography of the site posed unique challenges, which we addressed by working closely with the landscape architect, natural pond designer, and project architect. By aligning our designs with the overall vision for the pond, we ensured that water management integrated seamlessly with the natural aesthetic of the space.

The beauty of a natural swimming pool

Despite a tight timeline, our team successfully delivered a solution that met the construction programme and brought the client’s vision of a tranquil, eco-friendly swimming retreat to life.
