Designing a pool can be a challenging task, and there are a lot of factors to consider for the owner and designer.
Here are some things to consider during the process.
When designing a pool, you need to think about location – first and foremost:
The location for your pool or spa should be the first thing you think about when discussing options with a designer, which will allow you to move on to other factors like shape and size. If you have the space on your property, it may be good idea to place your pool slightly off center so that you don’t take up the entire yard.
In addition to location, you also need to be thinking about the size of your pool:
This will give you a realistic image in your head of the pool itself, and how well it will fit inside a certain space. Consider what you will be using your pool for the most when deciding on the size. If you use it primarily for exercise, you’ll want a longer pool, but it may not have to be very wide.
Secondly, consider the shape of your pool:
In ground pools don’t have to be rectangles or circles; there are a variety of shapes you can choose from as long as your property allows it. Design a shape that fits naturally on your property in order to take advantage of the space you have.
Finally, consider whether you want to create an Outside Living Space complete with Play, Relax, Eat, Rejuvenate, Rest, Celebration:
Remember to take into consideration how you could enjoy your outdoor space “now” and in the “future”. Fresh Air, Relaxing evenings enjoying a meal after a long day’s work or a cocktail, playtime for the kids, spa time with ambience and beautifully designed lighting options, a fireplace, fire pit or outdoor kitchen, the seating for larger family celebrations, fire & water scuppers or sconces or raised wall waterfall & rock features. The little details always make such a huge impact in the design and aesthetic. Visit our gallery for a bit of inspiration.
