2024 The Grant Saltmarsh Memorial Award - Feature in the Landscape
Joint Gold: COS Designs, Middle Park Project
Faced with a design stalemate, COS Design delivered an intricate pool and spa solution, blending bold vision with technical expertise.
A raised spa, flush with the dining room bench window, creates dramatic impact, while a wet-edge spillover eliminates excess fencing.
The spa doubles as a water feature, combining simplicity and function.
Judges commended the technical achievement and praised the pool and spa as a stunning garden feature.
Joint Gold: Franklin Pools Australia, Brighton Project
Combining creativity and craftsmanship to create an extraordinary outdoor space where art and playfulness meet.
The centrepiece is a 10-meter water slide, curving around a palm tree and above the sauna.
Hand-laid penny-round tiles ensure a smooth, sculptural surface, while lush planting and a circular sauna complete the dynamic setting.
Judges praised Franklin Pools for pushing creative boundaries and elevating the pool’s design.
