122 | POOL INDUSTRY Euro Pools T T Ange Davidson Turning dreams into reality Euro Pools are the only New Zealand company to be importing Beach Feel, a soft to touch and beautifully sculptured pigmented quartz that captures the beach vibe with organic shapes and a graduated descent that simulates entering the sea. Transforming dreams into reality is Euro Pools owner Venny Prokopiev’s model for his premier swimming pools and spas. Based in Auckland’s North Shore, the model appears to be working as repeat customers and new clients are keen to realise their dreams with a custom-made concrete pool. “We use concrete for all our pools as it allows us to play with shapes and forms, and we can incorporate a spa into a pool or vice versa. Our most popular pool is the cocktail pool which is a hybrid between a small swimming pool and a big spa. We build extended seating underwater for people to enjoy a relaxing time with friends and family,” says Venny. The cocktail pool is popular for central Auckland properties that don’t have a lot of space and for customers looking for something beautiful that they can relax in while their kids play. The average size of a cocktail pool is less than six metres long and two to three metres wide. Pools can be heated through a mix of electricity, solar and gas, depending on what’s available at a client’s property, and there’s a variety of pool covers to keep the heat in and stop evaporation. “Right now we’re working on a project that requires us to install a pool two and a half metres above ground. The architect designed the pool for the second level of the house which required us to build a supporting structure under the pool to hold it. You could only do this with concrete,” believes Venny. Euro Pools are the only New Zealand company to be importing Beach Feel, a soft to touch and beautifully sculptured pigmented quartz that captures the beach vibe with organic shapes and a graduated descent that simulates entering the sea. “People overseas love this concept as it’s friendly to kids and animals. We use concrete to shape the pool and plaster natural sand mixed up with specific resins on top of the concrete,” he says. “You don’t need tiles or decking as the bonded sand is used as the surround. People are very interested in this concept and are asking lots of questions. We’ve just priced a Beach Feel pool down in Christchurch.” “We are the only company certified for the Beach Feel system which is exceptionally aesthetic and very sustainable. “The result is a non-slip surface with high resistance to wear and tear and UV rays. It’s safe for children, resistant to pets, and suitable for everyone.” Venny’s latest project is a California-style swimming pool complete with floating structures, waterfall, ledge loungers, and a mix of fire and water features that is a testament to his dedication to creating unique and luxurious outdoor spaces. Euro Pools deliver a complete pool package. For a customer initially thinking about a pool to jumping into the completed product starts with just one phone call to Venny. “We are one of the few companies that provide a complete package from the design, engineering, installation of the pool and surrounding structures like decking, fencing, and a pool house if required. We have own team plus subcontractors and suppliers that we work with. We’ve got the right people to work with us, so business is easy and it delivers joy.” “We use concrete to shape the pool and plaster natural sand mixed up with specific resins on top...” Swimming pool & landscape construction materials Proudly supporting Euro Pools www.ssld.co.nz Highest Quality Swimming Pool & Spa Pool Equipment, Knowledge & Service.
