Renovation

The Estate, Ao Po

A tiled villa pool rebuilt and refinished in Sandy Beach.

The Estate, Ao Po — the overflow edge and the bay beyond

Location: Ao Po, Phuket, Thailand
Completed: 2024
Our role: Strip-out of the old tiling, new steps, pipework and coping, render and the new finish
Finish: PebbleCrete Classic Sandy Beach

The work
behind the setting.

The pool came to us in dark blue tile with a mosaic flower on the floor. PebblePools took the tiling off, rebuilt the steps, reran the pipework, rendered the shell and set the sandstone coping.

The finish is PebbleCrete Classic Sandy Beach, carried across the pool, the steps and the overflow channel.
