Summer at Helena’s

6 July 2026

In Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium, Helena has created an outdoor living space designed to complement a busy lifestyle, balancing work, sport and moments of relaxation. A true extension of the home, the space combines a terrace, pool house and swimming pool in a harmonious composition where contemporary architecture meets the warmth of timber and the authenticity of natural materials. An environment equally suited to sharing special moments and enjoying well-earned rest. At the heart of this carefully designed setting, the swimming pool naturally takes centre stage.

What really matters

Between her professional commitments, sporting activities and numerous personal projects, Helena was looking above all for a solution that would simplify her daily routine.

With a tree located right beside the pool, keeping the water clean required constant attention. An effective pool cover capable of preventing leaves and other debris from entering the pool quickly became essential.

Ease of use was another key priority. Having previously owned a different type of pool cover, Helena wanted a solution that was smoother, more intuitive and more enjoyable to operate every day.

Finally, the cover had to blend naturally into the contemporary design while preserving the overall aesthetic of the outdoor space.

A tailored solution

Her choice was a Coverseal Automatic, selected for its perfect combination of ease of use, performance and seamless integration.

The Mirror Effect housing subtly reflects its surroundings and complements the contemporary lines of the outdoor design. Combined with a taupe membrane, it harmonises beautifully with the natural tones of the terrace and pool house, enhancing the overall cohesion of the project.

Perfectly tensioned, the membrane protects the pool from leaves and other debris while helping to reduce maintenance requirements and the use of chemical treatments.

Fully automated, the Coverseal offers smooth and intuitive operation, perfectly suited to Helena’s lifestyle.

Effortless living, sustainable comfort

Today, the swimming pool plays a central role in Helena’s moments of relaxation.

Thanks to its effortless operation and reduced maintenance, she can make the most of her outdoor living space in an environment designed for both relaxation and recovery.
