Somerset West

This series of pools was designed for an upmarket guest house. Each of the four units has its own wetlandPOOL creating peripheral planting to the landscaped gardens.

The pools are linked together in a single system with water flowing from pool to pool and wetland to wetland. Rather than planting diverse plants in all of the wetlands, the wetland areas have been landscaped into distinct areas for different plant species with tall Cyperus Papyrus in certain areas, and Bush Willow trees or water lilies in others. The larger the wetland the more stable the system. Containing 313 cubic meters of the water, this is a highly stable system.
