Plan today, swim tomorrow: NOVAspace Pools
Now is the perfect time to plan your new pool and be ready to enjoy summer – splashing, swimming, and socialising in your own backyard oasis.
NOVAspace Pools, led by owner and designer Chris Thelin, specialises in the design, planning, and installation of high-quality fibreglass pools. With a full-service approach, Chris and his team manage every aspect of your project to bring your pool vision to life.
Chris is personally involved throughout the entire process, ensuring your needs are understood and met. “We’re not a large, impersonal company where you get passed from one department to another, he explains. “We offer a seamless, client-focused experience.”
As the South Island’s largest accredited dealer for the highly rated Aqua Technics Pools, NOVAspace provides comprehensive service – from consultation and design to installation and landscaping, all with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. “We are the largest installer in the South Island, with pools installed from Kaikōura to the deep south,” says Chris.
Upgrade your lifestyle
“Our Aqua Technics pool shells are the best quality pre-made fibreglass options available in New Zealand, and our service is second to none.” Manufactured in Australia, the pool shells are ISO certified and feature ColourGuard technology – an anti-fade surface finish embedded during production. Backed by a lifetime structural warranty, these pools offer long-term value and superior durability.
With 30 other shapes and sizes available, plus up to 13 custom colours, steps positioned at either end, and even spa and pool integration options, there is a solution to suit every outdoor space. Chris has worked with a wide range of pool brands and stands by Aqua Technics. “This pool shell is 30% stronger than its competitors. It is, hands down, the best shell on the market today.”
Tailored designs to suit your style
If you’re looking for something truly unique, NOVAspace also delivers bespoke pool designs. Whether you’re inspired by a Balinese retreat, a Tuscan courtyard, or a Palm Springs-style space, Chris and his team can bring your vision to life. “We can completely transform your outdoor area into something special,” Chris says. The company’s gallery of past projects provides excellent inspiration for clients seeking a custom aesthetic.
Dedicated personal service
A typical pool installation takes about seven days from start to finish. Full landscaping may take up to 12 weeks, depending on the scope of the project. Chris remains closely involved with clients at every stage – from initial consultation and design to consents, installation, and project management. “I pride myself on being hands-on throughout the process. Nothing is signed off until it meets my exacting standards.”
