A natural pool emulates nature in that the water is cleaned with a biofilter. For this project the client asked us to convert a conventional swimming pool into a natural pool. Co-creators designed the pool with Marijke Honig and the natural pool detail design was undertaken by Jerome Davis. Boardwalks and decks were built by Jaco Scholtz.
