Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 26, 2017 11:16 am Hi All, Im hoping to get some help from fellow H1'ers. Soon we will start looking at building our forever home, and the one thing my partner and I agree on is that it must have wow factor. Has anybody built a house or has seen any floor plans that use a swimming pool as the feature of the house?

Running through the middle will be a glass corridor linking the two long arms of the H. The corridor can be completely opened up on both sides so the pool and Alfresco become one large area. The second storey roof extends over the pool so it’s undercover and the upstairs corridor also overlooks the pool. Alternatively you could just have the one courtyard (with pool, etc) and build on 2,3 or 4 sides of it It certainly does cost more to build a non-rectangular box shaped house!

It has 6 large windows at the rear and the display home looked out onto a pool which looked amazing.
