"Dear
Peter
I am writing to thank you, Bree and Marion for the magnificent job
you have done in transforming our 40 year old back yard into something very
special.
Peter Glass & Associates have created for us a magnificent pool
and outdoor living space which can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The pool with its amazing wet edge/waterfall
is a water feature with the ‘Wow’ factor.
As it stretches across the garden, with the water trickling over the
pool edge and down the limestone feature wall, the sound of the gentle cascade
and the view of the lights dancing in the movement of the water creates a
wonderful atmosphere.
We have thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast, lunch and dinner
outside in the garden surrounded by beautiful plantings, gorgeous travertine, manicured
lawns and of course that amazing poolscape.
The extra work you did for us with the front balcony and in the front
garden totally transformed the look of our house and brought it up to where we
wanted it to be. Your expertise seems to
have no bounds.
We have loved working with you and your amazing team. The whole process was a delightful
experience. Please feel free to use this
letter as a reference for future clients.
We had hoped during all the planning and discussion stages that the
new pool would be good but you have created something that has exceeded all of
our expectations.
We cannot thank you enough!”

"Hi Peter
You may recall that you designed our pool almost eight years ago –
well, we just wanted to let you know that it looks as fabulous today as the day
it was finished. Virtually every visitor
to our home comments on the jaw-dropping brilliance of your design. Our backyard was originally virtually
unusable, and we never imagined that we would be able to incorporate such a
magnificent pool and such great entertaining areas in the steep space
available. We are very
appreciative! The kids and us have
obtained so much pleasure from the pool over the years that we couldn’t imagine
living here without it!
Looking back, you made the design process and the Council approval
process easy from the very start and your honest feedback and recommendations,
plus your advice on finishes and equipment, were much appreciated.
Thank you for your vision!!!
Best wishes”

"Dear Peter
We first contacted you because we needed help in deciding the size,
shape and location of our pool-in fact, you were actually recommended to us by
another landscape architect who on seeing our property said that ‘only Peter
Glass could do justice to this site’ – and he was right!!
As soon as you walked onto our site you came up with the brilliant
idea for our sunken pool and cascade, plus adjacent sunken seating area and
central fire pit – but I guess that comes from your 30+ years experience!
Your design has allowed us to enjoy our pool as well as our garden
to their fullest potential. We did not
experience the difficulties with Council that we had been expecting, especially
seeing we have a Heritage house in a Heritage Conservation Area. The expertise and knowledge of you and your
team, and the quality of your design and presentation, streamlined the Council
process and helped ensure that we had not objections from neighbours.
As a result, we had our plans designed and approved and our pool
built within a year, and we now enjoy our garden in ways we never anticipated!
Whether we are watching and listening to the pool water flow over the pool weir
and into the pond below, or sitting around the fire pit in our sunken seating
area, we really cannot say enough good things about Peter Glass &
Associates!
Everyone on your team is extremely pleasant, professional and
experienced, and fully understanding of what will benefit the client without wasting
time or money. It is a credit to you that most of your team have been with you
for between 10 and 20 years, which is pretty rare these days.
Our pool is unique and designed specifically for our site, our ‘wish
list’ and our budget – you won’t find another pool like this in one of the pool
magazines! We have a brand new, modern pool – yet it fits in perfectly with our
100 year old home. The sandstone coping perfectly matches the sandstone around
our home, the surface of the pool reflects all of the trees around the pool
(and comes into its own at night!) whilst the incorporation of the weir and
cascade into the design ensure that the falling leaves are never a
problem. We now have a pool that is a
beautiful water feature that looks and sounds great – and that everyone in the
family loves to swim in!
Would we use you again, Peter? Definitely, except that we don’t ever
want to leave this beautiful pool and landscape that you have created for us!”

"Hi Peter
I just wanted to let you know personally how
very, very pleased I am with the Plan prepared by you and
Asher. It is so much better than I
thought possible – especially given the interpretation of the standards and
regulations that have been imposed upon us by Council. Asher (who has been both excellent and
delightful to deal with) has taken me through the Plan, which seems to me to be
clearly compliant with AS1926.1-2007. If
Council agrees that this is the barrier I am required to build, I will consider
it an outstanding result in all the circumstances!
I just wanted to let you know that, as far as I am concerned, your
Plan is fantastic!!
I am beyond grateful.”

"Hello Peter
It’s been such a long time…. hope this finds you and yours
exceptionally well and that all goes well in your world.
I think Rod spoke to you recently and that you know we have sold our
beautiful pool and home. May I take this opportunity to thank you once again
for creating such a "sanctuary” for us. The pool will be the hardest thing for me
to leave. It has truly given us so much pleasure and I’m sure, was a major
reason for the purchase by the new owners.
It has been on TV and appeared in numerous magazines – and will
always be my little piece of Heaven on earth! So thank you, Peter – you made
all the difference! Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time in
the future.
Kind regards”
