SplinterWorks

Since 2009, Splinterworks has reimagined familiar objects into functional sculptures. Challenging design norms and instilling a sense of wonder in the everyday, our iconic pieces serve a global market, and we are best recognised for our custom pool slides and hammock bathtubs.

Our sculptural slides redefine the traditional water slide as an architectural statement. Each slide is hand-crafted and individually tailored to fit the space and preferences of the client; we also love a challenge to create something unique. Whether hand-finished in mirror polished stainless steel or another meticulously applied patina, each piece captures light and water to serve as a fine art installation, while also bringing joy to the everyday through its’ function.

Crafted to transcend passing trends, our designs are intentionally theatrical. By seamlessly integrating handrails and concealing fixings within fluid geometries, we eliminate visual clutter. However, performance and function remain paramount. Spatial and climate challenges are solved through ambitious engineering: for example, Waha features a twist to optimize deck space; Orchid utilizes a gravity-defying cantilevered structure; and Tryst rests resplendent on three points with zero visible fittings. All our slides feature a patented water-cooling system to keep surfaces cool to the touch, in even the hottest climates.

The overarching philosophy for this project was to create a home that would be cherished as a legacy. From our first site visit with the homeowner, we understood that building this home meant much more than just constructing a beautiful property. It was to be a sanctuary for her family, of all ages, to relish for generations.

The James Doyle Design Associates team suggested a Splinterworks sculptural slide would be most befitting of this project. They were looking for an ‘important landscape moment’; a piece that enhanced their holistic design - which included the pool area and terrace layouts, as well as the entire exterior space of the property. Their beloved signature design style, that celebrates the intersection of nature and art, is perfectly exemplified in this project where the geometrical hardscaping, with soft naturalistic planting and sculptural elements, are perfectly resolved to encapsulate this meeting of art with nature. Significant Homes helped execute the installation of the extraordinary exterior.

With a remarkable Georgian-style residence by Vanderhorn Architects, the pool leisure space needed to be equally as impressive to complement the classical vernacular of the property. At the forefront of the design by JDDA was considering the sight-lines from the house - across the lawns and on to the pool area. The symmetrical design of the pool deck layout is pleasingly offset by the playful circular form of the sculptural slide.

Splinterworks’ Cyma slide was chosen as it also bridges the path to act as a moon-gate, and with headroom of 6’7’’ under the arch, it is tall enough to pass under and enjoy - a playful interaction for every generation, particularly those choosing to stay dry!

The outstanding team created a timeless, cohesive environment which will effortlessly host the years to come.

Nestled between boulders in this stunning San Diego pool, our custom copper lustre Vertex ensures the maximum fun out of our clients pool, while the water cooling system keeps the family safe in the hot sunshine. Every part of the slide is cooled externally through jets and internally through the hand rails and guard rails. Happy weekend friends! 🌞
