We are excited to give a big round of applause to Dupont Pools as they are the proud winner of the Winter edition of Leisure Pools Pool Profile competition with their outstanding installation of The Elegance 12.00m pool in Graphite Grey.  Set against the breathtaking alpine backdrop of Queenstown, New Zealand, this recent installation by Dupont Pools is nothing short of remarkable. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the project showcases how thoughtful planning and expert craftsmanship can turn a vision into a space that will be cherished for years to come.

A Pool Designed for Togetherness

When the clients set out to build their new home, one priority was clear: they wanted a pool large enough to bring people together. Family gatherings, afternoons with friends, and plenty of space for the kids to swim and play were all at the heart of the design brief. The Elegance 12.00m was the perfect choice—generous in scale, versatile in layout, and ideal for balancing relaxation with activity.

Perfectly Suited to Its Surroundings

Nestled within Queenstown’s alpine landscape, the pool had to do more than just serve as a place to swim—it needed to complement the natural environment and the sleek lines of the new architectural home. The Graphite Grey finish achieves exactly that. Rich and sophisticated, it reflects the tones of the surrounding mountains while providing a striking contrast against the home’s modern design and colour pallet. The result is a pool that feels as though it has always belonged in this setting.

A Journey of Collaboration

Every great project is built on collaboration, and this installation was no exception. Spanning nearly two years, the journey with the clients was one of patience, communication, and careful coordination. From the early design stages through to the finishing touches, Dupont Pools worked closely to ensure every decision aligned with the family’s vision. The result is more than just a pool—it’s a space tailored to their lifestyle.

More Than Just a Pool Space

The Elegance 12.00m presence creates more than a place to cool off in the summer months. Its size and thoughtful placement make it the heart of the outdoor living area, encouraging connection, relaxation, and play. Whether it’s children playing, family barbecues, or quiet moments soaking up the scenery, the pool space adds a new dimension of living to the property.
