Classic Cream Backless Pool Renovation

These homeowners were renovating their pool area that sat amongst existing high rock retaining walls and mature surrounds. The pool equipment was tucked into the very rear corner of the garden with narrow access and little room to manoeuvre. The goal was to cleanly house the pool equipment while reducing noise.

To achieve this, our team worked with the landscaper during the construction phase. Bringing us in early meant we could plan the enclosure as part of the design rather than trying to retrofit it later.

The solution was a three-part Backless Acoustic Box configuration, with one 1100mm compartment and two 900mm compartments. Creating a modular system almost 3m long that could house all equipment but still low-profile enough to sit completely hidden behind the feature wall. The Classic Cream finish helped the unit blend effortlessly into the limestone wall.

Given the heat pump was also being enclosed, the side panel was replaced with a custom square cut grill to match the mosaic tile pattern behind it. This subtle design element allowed the enclosure to read as part of the pool landscaping rather than a separate add-on.

Access to the site was particularly challenging. With rock landscaping already established and the equipment positioned deep in the corner, the modularity of the Acoustic Box proved invaluable here. Each piece could be carried in individually, assembled on-site, and locked together cleanly without heavy machinery or clearance space.

Despite the tight confines, the final result is incredibly tidy. From the front, the enclosure is completely concealed behind the feature wall. From behind, the equipment is neatly organised, well ventilated and fully compliant.

This Mosman project highlights exactly what makes the Acoustic Box perfect for pool owners: modular sizing, custom ventilation options, and a build quality that holds up even in awkward or restricted spaces. Most importantly, it shows how the enclosure can be integrated seamlessly into existing landscaping – functional, discreet and architecturally considered.
