Before taking the plunge, assess what type of swimming pool works for you and your family. Maybe a small spool will be perfect for you, or do you dream of a large, landscaped in-ground pool complete with a pool house? Consider and Discuss options with our representative and design team.

There is a swimming pool for every outdoor space–even long, narrow side yards or smack-bang-in-the-middle courtyards. From sleek, modern masterpieces to Mediterranean escapes to private water parks to natural pools, we have built every size, style, design, and type of pool you can imagine. Dive in and be dazzled.

Most of the early residential swimming pools were constructed in the classic rectangular form, which was aesthetically pleasing and practical. As a source of exercise, the long, straight lines of a rectilinear pool made sense for pool owners who wanted to swim laps. Reflection pools have also traditionally been rectilinear or rectangular in shape.

All DFA Design Studio pools are hand packed and concreted with either marbelite or fibre-glass finishings to meet your expectations.

Here are some essential Mediterranean Design Characteristics:

Colourful tile, solid glazed or hand-painted in royal blues, oranges, and vivid colours found in nature
Textures such as rustic wood or terra-cotta
Verdigris (copper, brass, or bronze patina)
Cobblestones
Shaded or sheltered areas, such as Pergolas are often covered in vines
Plants that are softly coloured and blow in the breeze such as ornamental grass or lavender
Drought-tolerant and native landscaping
Olive or citrus trees, in-ground or potted—especially lemon
Details such as urns, fountains, or arches
Low walls that do not obstruct views
