Architectural Pool Design Tips
The team at Atlas Pools offers custom architectural pools for your home or business. We work with you on the design of your pool, and we encourage you to explore your options for design styles. The following tips can help you get started so that you can explain your preferences to our team:
Create a Wish List – Most homeowners have some ideas for what they want their pool to be like. Keep a list and write down any thoughts when they pop up. You can search online for photos of pool designs and save the ones you like. These ideas will help our pool designers and builders get a good idea of your preferences. We can then offer some suggestions to fine-tune your architectural pool design.
Keep it Simple – Architectural pools can be somewhat fancy, but the style is often characterized by simple and classic designs. Keep your pool tiles simple, classic, clean, and uniform. Add-ons can be tempting, but don’t overdo them. Consider a diving board, steps or stairs, a hot tub, water features, and more. Choose the features you want the most. You want your pool to be elegant without looking like a theme park.
Architectural Pool Design Principles
You don’t need to be an expert on modern architecture because our team knows just about everything. However, you will want some basic knowledge so you can ensure you get the architectural pool you have in mind for your home. There are many swimming pool styles, and everyone has their own tastes. Whether you want to take a minimalistic approach or enjoy a modern swimming pool, the team at Atlas Pools is here to help. Learn a bit more about some common architectural pool design principles:
Minimalism – Modern style is synonymous with minimalism. This style includes clean, streamlined shapes. This style avoids ornamentation, with palettes being monochromatic or subdued. Elaborate tile work is usually avoided, but minimalist versions of fountains or slides can be nice additions.
Geometry – Architectural pools are built on geometry, and freeform and kidney-shaped pools often aren’t included. The repetition of geometry is important. For example, if you add a circular spa, add circular stools for a swim-up bar.
Relationship to Your House – In many cases, architectural pools are built at the same time as the house. Aim to make the pool an extension of your house, whether it’s a new build or a retrofit. For pool remodels or installations for preexisting homes, look at your house’s façade for inspiration. Position your swimming pool so it complements your house and maximizes yard space.
Cohesive Pool Surroundings – Repeat the pool’s geometry in your yard as well. You may opt for an entire poolscape that includes a landscape and entertainment area centered on the pool. You can use planets to serve as a transition area between your swimming pool and landscaping. Choose hardscaping and pathways that use the same materials and colors that are used around your pool. Modern materials often include metal, glass, and concrete.
