Great designers and builders create pool environments that look like they effortlessly just belong where they are. Intuitively the space feels right. Agile Aquatic works with our clients to find out their needs and desires, we learn about the property and we suggest ideas to align with their vision.
As choices are made for the color of the pool finish, the tile and so on, and there are also “unseen” items that we plan for. It’s how we ensure your poolscape suits you, is healthy and operates well.
A few design elements:
Balance
Proportion
Hierarchy
Emphasis
Unity
Rhythm
Here is a sparkly tiled pool with crystal clear water. You cannot tell by looking that an AquaFuzion nanobubble system is sanitizing the water. It is clear, clean and healthy water, and that is the goal, to show off the beauty of the pool.
What we add to your project:
Harmony
The elements go together. The pool, patio, surrounding area will coordinate with the home in style and tone. It will feel like it was meant to be.
Movement
How does a fixed-built item create movement? We design and think in 3D. We also move through the space and create the natural pathways around the space. There should be enough room for walking, and a pleasing view from all directions. We can create that view through landscaping, elements such as retaining walls, rocks, fire, waterfalls and light. Adding movement gives a space a feeling of aliveness—which can be cozy or energetic.
Ease-of-use
Technology is always improving, and you want things as simplified as possible. Controls are positioned where they need to be for easy access. What would make your pool ownership more convenient? Perhaps an in-floor cleaning system, or an autocover, Smart-Phone apps, automatic chemical feeders, a spa close to the house, a beach entry for children and/or wheelchairs? We carefully think about safety as much as convenience.
Restorative, revitalizing
We create refreshment intentionally. The view is pleasurable and looking at your poolscape will bring you enjoyment and pride. Moving water creates sound which is relaxing and replaces discordant sounds such as traffic. You have a place to relax, to unwind, to enjoy. It is tactile, you want to touch the surfaces, to dip your feet in. Whether your style is formal or natural, we plan the site for your indulgence.
Experience
You want a good experience. The pool should be integral to the space, not just a spot where a pool exists. What makes the experience exceptional? A hidden spa, an elevated spa, a lazy river, exciting lighting, swimouts in the deep end, a beach entry, hints of a tropical locale, a glittery finish or tile, natural materials, entertaining places, cozy conversation spots. We want to make your environment remarkable.
Agile Aquatic designs the mechanical rooms for our projects to work well with the least reisistance, the best power, and a layout that allows for easy access. Variables such as the number of pieces of equipment, distance from the pool, electrical and plumbing concerns make each project unique. We also cleverly conceal the “works” so the view of the pool is unobstructed. Just enjoy the view!
Mechanicals
We place mechanical items where they are not in full view and are easy to access, which can be a clever art. Solving aesthetics and logistics can be accomplished with forethought and experience. We design mechanical rooms that are logical and that are easy to service. Large residential projects may be better served with commercial equipment. A complex pool requires a great deal of planning to operate seamlessly. Appropriate professionals and a commitment to the infrastructure design ahead of the build will save money. Begin with the end in mind!
As we listen to your desires we are inspired to add to your thoughts in unique and creative ways, while minding budgets and time constraints. A thoughtful, careful design plan, both for the beauty that you see and the intangibles and infrastructure that you don’t see is what what establishes Agile Aquatic as a pool builder of choice!
