70 | Swathe of awards The stunning cantilevered infinity pool and spa at a new home build on Beach Road. Morgan Pools T T Kelly Deeks POOL INDUSTRY Morgan Pools’ position at the pointy edge of high-end luxury pool projects has been confirmed as the company takes away several Gold and Highly Commended awards from the SPASA New Zealand Awards of Excellence 2023. Morgan Pools won Gold for Commercial Project of the Year, Commercial Pool up to $500,000, Concrete In-Ground Spa, Concrete Lap Pool, Concrete Pool up to $180,000, and Courtyard/Small Pool up to $80,000. Company founder Carlos & Sandra Morgan brought home the Acknowledgement of Industry Service Award for his 50 years in the pool building industry. Morgan Pools co-director Peter Mihaere says other pool builders like having Morgan Pools in the mix when it comes to awards, because they know they build some of New Zealand’s highest quality pools. One example of this quality from this year’s winnings is the Concrete Pool up to $180,000, a cantilevered infinity pool and spa at a new home build on Beach Road. “This type of pool stands out in the competition,” Peter says. “It is one of the projects that typifies what we do on a daily basis.” Against a breathtaking backdrop of Castor Bay to Rangitoto Island, this pool setting is simply stunning. The Riverstone tiled spa overlooks the teal toned finishes of the pool which in turn, blend into the ocean on the horizon. With a six-metre-long bench seat within the pool, an infinity edge, and a fully tiled spa, this sophisticated package of features works seamlessly with the architecture of the new home, the surrounding bush, and the picturesque ocean view. Peter and his brother Justin have owned Morgan Pools since taking over from Carlos Morgan in 2018. Justin had joined the company 10 years earlier and took an instrumental role in growing the business. With Peter’s more than 35 years of business management experience and Justin’s more than 25 years of pool construction experience, the brothers make a comprehensive senior leadership team as they work together to evolve Morgan Pools within an ever-changing pool building landscape. “We’ve moved from just building pools into a design and build company which takes clients through design, consenting, and engineering processes and manages that through to construction. We’ve also moved into building pool surrounds and settings, so decking, fencing, and extensions are now all part of our remit.” Morgan Pools provides expert craftsmanship in the build of timeless, elegant, and high strength reinforced concrete swimming pools for discerning clients, offering superior design, low maintenance constructionn, and a beautifully finished poolside landscape which enhance both the value and the enjoyment of a property. Pools are traditionally designed in harmony with the surrounding environment, the unique architecture of the home, as well as the tastes and requirements of each client. Morgan Pools adopts a customer-oriented approach meaning every project can be customised to suit, from concept to finishing. With a wealth of experience on board, the Morgan Pools team offers sound advice on every step of the process. “We’re not just one of scores of pool builders out there; we’re unique,” Peter says.
