Toronto, (Ontario), January 19, 2017 – BonaVista Pools wins the coveted award at the Landscape Ontario Awards of Excellence, including top water feature category for a large scale residential pool property in Penetang. A BonaVista pool also receives an honorable mention for a Toronto area urban backyard space designed by Pro-Land.
The Penetang residential, winning pool, was a large project built over several months which includes: a negative edge pool, an exquisit mosaic tiled hot tub with custom floating covers; concealed in the floor under retractable panels which enable the covers to rise and open on the surface like a flower in bloom. The negative edge cascades over a 25 foot high stone wall overlooking Georgian Bay. This gorgeous pool has the ability to operate all four seasons with the support from the pool cover technology.
“BonaVista always enjoys working together with our clients and trades people to create dream projects! Our clients push us to deliver a unique perspective and challenge us to “colour outside of the lines” to create pools with amazing features like sheer descents, negative edges, integrated hot-tubs and projects that are truly an outdoor oasis”, says Melissa Brown, P. Eng., President BonaVista Pools.
