Most popular pools: Nova Space
In Canterbury’s winning homes from the latest house and architecture awards, pools proved one of the most popular lifestyle features. To find out more about the blend between indoor and outdoor living and the importance of making the right investment, Metropol sat down with business owner and passionate pool man Chris Thelin.
Homes are moving beyond four walls,” says Chris Thelin, the owner of NOVAspace Pools and man behind many of Canterbury’s favourite places to make a splash. “Pools have become an extension of the home to encompass outdoor living beyond it.”
Architects and landscapers are working closer than ever before with Chris and his team, as the pool layout and its place in the backyard becomes just as important as the house itself.
“Open-entry homes are built with pool and lifestyle in mind, so it’s just as seamless as you go through,” Chris says. Pair a private, resort-style oasis (for family fun, fitness, stress relief and relaxation) with the added property appeal, and it’s no wonder pools have become such a popular lifestyle choice.
The truth beyond the surface
But Chris, and every NOVAspace pool, is about more than aesthetics. “Understanding the quality of the product being buried in the ground is vital. From the outside, these things look wonderful, but it’s what the ground conditions are doing to the exterior underneath that matters.
“Any pool can become a sleeping giant for deterioration if it’s not good quality, and needs to be removed and replaced in 10 to 15 years. Your swimming pool is an investment, and the cost of what you’re putting in the ground is 50% of what you’re investing in.”
As South Island’s largest accredited dealer for fibreglass Aqua Technics Pools (the award-winning, family-owned Australian company with an unmatched lifetime structural guarantee), Chris backs the technology and reliability behind his product. Pools infuse graphene nano technology and fade-resistance, a revolutionary process in the pool industry making them incredibly strong and built to last. “Simply put, it’s the best you can get,” he says. Chris knows from his decades in the industry working across every range of swimming pools before settling on the best for NOVAspace.
