Serapool’s innovative products and solutions empower architects and designers to achieve sustainable and cutting-edge results in their projects. In our interview with Urban Planner and Landscape Designer Tolga Uysal, we discussed the technical elements to consider in swimming pool design and the advantages Serapool offers throughout this process.
The Importance of Materials and Technology in Swimming Pools
When swimming pools are designed and constructed using the right materials and advanced technological solutions, they provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. The concrete structures of pools are insulated and finished with high-quality Porcelain Tiles, ensuring durability and minimal maintenance costs. Choosing superior materials also prevents costly problems in the long run. At this point, Serapool's Porcelain Tiles stand out with their durability and smooth surfaces, offering significant solutions for both users and designers.
What do you focus on in terms of technology, materials, and innovation when bringing your projects to life? What solutions does Serapool provide in this regard?
“Building and maintaining swimming pools require significant expenditure and investment at every stage. Therefore, we must always use up-to-date, advanced materials and products. Compromising on material quality inevitably leads to outcomes that can only be corrected with higher budgets later on.”
Technical Advantages and Design Diversity with Serapool’s Product Range
Serapool’s wide array of products, colors, and textures offers significant aesthetic and technical advantages in pool design. Large-format products such as the Natural Series reduce joint surfaces, creating a more seamless and refined visual appearance. This technical feature also provides ease and cost-efficiency in maintenance processes. Additionally, the broad product range allows designers and users to find options that harmonize with various architectural styles and environmental factors.
The Natural Series products differ significantly from conventional pool tiles in both size and design. How would you evaluate their aesthetic impact on swimming pool design?
“The Natural Series by Serapool, with its large 33x66 cm dimensions, not only reduces visible joint lines within the pool but also ensures ease and savings when renovation is required.”
Integration of Swimming Pools in Landscape and Architectural Design
Swimming pools are integral to landscape and architectural designs, enhancing both environmental beauty and architectural value when properly planned. Considering factors such as orientation, slope, and user expectations ensures perfect harmony between structures and their surroundings. Thoughtful planning of poolside sunbathing areas, shading structures, and technical zones significantly enhances the usability and quality of the space.
As a landscape architect, how do you assess the impact of swimming pools on architectural design and landscaping? In your opinion, how do swimming pools add value to architecture?
“While developing swimming pool projects, we integrate the pool seamlessly with the architectural structure of the residence, residential complex, or hotel. At the same time, we carefully consider orientation, slope, and the specific needs and desires of the client or end-users.”
