Bringing Natural Aesthetics into Pool Design
For architect Duygu Çakır Eroğlu, good design starts with personalizing spaces for their users. She carried this philosophy into her Bodrum Bitez home—designing the entire property herself. Choosing Antique Grey from the Natural Series, she created a pool design that blends seamlessly with the landscape, evoking the look of natural stone under and around the water.
“What attracted me most was the natural stone appearance. That’s why I loved Serapool’s Antique Grey tone… Once the pool was filled, it revealed a beautiful turquoise hue.”
Where Hygiene Meets Elegance: Choosing Porcelain
For Eroğlu, hygiene is just as vital as aesthetics in pool design. She preferred Porcelain Tiles for their hygienic qualities and minimal grout requirement. Especially for families with children, surfaces that retain less dirt and can be easily cleaned are essential—qualities that porcelain delivers through its Large Format Tiles and low porosity.
“To ensure hygiene, I chose porcelain tiles. Larger formats meant fewer joints, which led to a more hygienic pool surface.”
Design Integrity with Outer Trim and Porcelain Grating
Serapool Porselen’s Outer Trim played a key role in enhancing both safety and aesthetics. By eliminating sharp edges, it brought harmony and continuity to the surface. In place of plastic grates, Eroğlu opted for Porcelain Stoneware Grating made from the same material as the pool finish—providing a unified, elegant look.
“Thanks to Serapool’s Outer Trim, the pool finishes looked clean and refined. Using matching grates further elevated the overall design.”
Precision Application Through Technical Support
Eroğlu emphasizes that achieving excellent results is as much about correct application as it is about high-quality materials. Serapool’s strong dealer structure and architectural support helped ensure the perfect implementation—especially with specialty pieces like Outer Trim. Expert guidance during installation elevated the outcome of the project.
“When you combine Serapool tiles with special pieces like Outer Trim, the result stands apart. I received the support I needed from Serapool throughout.”
Feedback from the User’s Perspective
The Antique Grey series by Serapool Porselen creates a striking turquoise reflection once in contact with water—an effect that surprises and delights visitors. Eroğlu says this feature is frequently complimented, showing how Serapool’s products resonate both technically and emotionally.
“Guests are always curious about how the Antique Grey tones look once applied. The result is a refined turquoise that draws compliments. I’m very satisfied with my choice and highly recommend it.”
