Create the Ultimate Poolside Paradise with Eva-Last
Let’s face it – some pool areas can be, well, a bit dull. If you haven’t done any upgrades since last season, then perhaps it’s time to think about a new look for your pool entertainment space.

“Oh I do love to be beside the seaside…” Who doesn’t dream of sun, sea and sand with warm tropical climates and endless sea views as the idyllic lifestyle? But the very elements that make coastal living so appealing can turn your dream into a nightmare if you don’t choose the building materials for your beachfront property carefully.
Beachfront properties and coastal developments may be some of the most appealing projects, but they also present some of the most challenging conditions for construction. High humidity, increased exposure to sunlight and the corrosive nature of salty sea air, tropical storms with high winds and high seas mean coastal structures are subject to increased wear and tear compared to their inland counterparts. Sun, sand, sea and salt are synonymous with coastal climates that demand more durable and resilient building materials.
Who would have thought that the terms “total blackout” or “loadshedding” would ever form part of regular vocabulary? Whether caused by inadequate infrastructure or extreme weather events due to climate change, the need to transform fossil-fuel based power supplies to more sustainable sources is evident.
In the rapidly evolving and ever-expanding landscape of urbanisation, smart cities and advancements in sustainable building solutions are shaping the future of urban development and the cities of tomorrow. As populations grow and urban areas expand, the demand for sustainable, efficient, and intelligent infrastructure has never been more pressing. Enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution or 4IR.
Climate change is no longer just an “Inconvenient Truth” but a living reality as we witness daily disasters caused by global warming. Violent storms, heavy snowfalls and unbearable heatwaves, hurricanes and cyclones, flash floods, rampant wildfires and drought are all evidence of climate change wreaking havoc on people and property.
Sustainability is a way of life – it not only impacts how we experience the world today but will for generations to come. When it comes to living sustainably, we often focus on the big picture: reducing waste, conserving resources, and protecting the environment. But what about the little things? What about the products we use daily and incorporate into our homes? Here’s where high-quality, environmentally friendly products shine, with leading names in the sector like Eva-Last setting the standard.
The realities of modern urban living and increased urbanisation mean smaller spaces, both indoors and out. However, limitations in square meterage need not equate to a compromise in comfort or style. Quite the contrary. With the technical advances of modern building materials such as bamboo composites from Eva-Last and a few clever tricks, even the tiniest outdoor areas can be transformed into inviting and functional retreats.
As design professionals, we’re always searching for new inspiration. However, we know that fads can quickly change and it’s important to find those timeless trends that offer value in the long run. One such trend that’s gaining momentum is composite building materials. This is fast becoming a go-to choice for architects, builders, and designers, and with trusted brands like Eva-Last, the choice becomes even simpler!
Eva-Last, a leader in innovative bamboo composite products, is excited to announce its renewed partnership with PowerHouse Building Solutions in British Columbia, Canada. This partnership is one of many key strategic alliances to successfully transition from Fortress Deck Products to Eva-Last Americas following the acquisition in August 2023.
