This Hampton family finished renovating their home first, which left them with a compact courtyard to work with and two young boys who needed somewhere to burn off energy. The brief was to tie the pool back to the house, matching the colour palette so the whole space felt like one considered design rather than an add-on.
We set a Journey 6 in Pearl into the courtyard, a size that suits a smaller footprint without giving up on the swimming. Access was good, which kept the build smooth, and the finished result makes good use of an area that had been sitting empty. Grey stone paving and a dark feature fence pull it all together.

Can you fit a fibreglass pool in a small courtyard?
Yes. A compact fibreglass pool like the Journey 6 is designed for smaller spaces, so a courtyard or side yard can still hold a proper swimming pool. Good access helps keep the build simple, and the right size makes an unused area the most used part of the home.
How do you match a pool to the look of the house?
We take our cue from the home’s existing palette and materials. For this Hampton courtyard, we chose a Pearl colour and grey stone paving that connect back to the house, so the pool feels built in rather than added on. Colour, paving and fencing all work together to tie the space to the home.
Is a fibreglass pool a good option for a renovated home?
Yes. Fibreglass shells install quickly with minimal disruption, which suits a finished home where you do not want a long, messy build in the backyard. With good access, the shell can be craned in and the surrounds completed in a matter of weeks rather than months.
