Dubai, UAE; March 30, 2011: UAE based Belhasa Projects, one of the world's largest swimming pool construction companies, has won the international Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association's (SPATA) prestigious annual award for the best domestic pools in the overseas category. The company has won the award for the fifth consecutive year and is the only one from the Middle East to have won this year.
SPATA is a member of BSPF- the British Swimming Pool Federation; and of EUSA- the European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations. The internationally renowned SPATA awards highlight the achievements of the pool industry by showcasing the best examples of construction, design and innovation.
Belhasa Projects won a Gold and Silver in the same category.
On receiving the award, Greg Garner, CEO of Belhasa Projects, said: "We are delighted to win the SPATA award again. The criteria for entering the awards are quite strict; there is a great emphasis on design, construction and outstanding quality of work. We won a gold and silver for two pools we constructed for our clients in Emirates Hills in Dubai. Constructing a swimming pool demands a great deal of skill to ensure a trouble free installation, safety and fine aesthetic appeal which are all important factors that will also help to increase the value of the property. We have more than 30 years of expertise in the design, construction, maintenance and refurbishment of swimming pools for homes, educational institutions and commercial establishments."
Belhasa Projects has constructed over 3,400 swimming pools in the GCC and other countries.
The SPATA Gold that the company received is for a 15.45 metre pool featuring a Balinese Zen architecture which was concept designed by Serendipity and constructed by Belhasa Projects in Emirates Hills.
The company also received Silver at the SPATA awards for the design and construction of a stunning swimming pool for another villa located in Emirates Hills. In collaboration with the internationally renowned UK based Interior Design firm Candy & Candy, the pool was designed to have a contemporary look. The constructed pool is nearly half of Olympic size in length complete with steps, seating areas, planted palm trees, and a mystically positioned gazebo with a water feature that gives a floating appearance in the evening when the lights are on.
"It was just what the client envisioned, a space to relax, unwind and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city," said Malay Shah, General Manager, Belhasa Projects.
