Gérard Gay: Swimming Pools with Soul...!
Haute-couture swimming pools!
Although made-to-measure swimming pools now flourish here and there and often feature breath-taking architectural fioritures, they still do not attain Gérard Gay's level of excellence. Because it's all a matter of dreams, of landscapes straight from nature so well done that it's hard to tell where nature ends and invention begins. In the end, we discover a harmonious whole in a setting that is both unreal and "real," calling into question the very notion of truth... Proof that design conquers all!
High quality at the service of dreams
Of course, the idea is not to design idyllic landscapes only to see them dissolve under the pressure of water, collapsing desperately into a swampy ruin. So that the dream will live on, Gérard Gay builds on armatures of reinforced concrete and uses noble, wear-resistant materials. The Gay technique? Cement for the walls, bottoms and beaches are poured in one operation, thus ensuring impeccable solidity, regularity and water-tightness. The final coating in tinted sand resin covered with a transparent resin makes the water area look like a beach covered with fine sand. The illusion is completed by jetty stone and a cascade of water over rock formations with an overflow ensuring that the pool remains perfectly clean.
