Irregular Shaped 1970’s Pool

with Safety Upgrades

The project

In early 2019, our team completed the renovation of an irregularly shaped residential swimming pool originally constructed in the 1970s. The clients requested a full modernization to provide an updated, safe recreation area for their family. The original concrete pool was redesigned into a rectangular shape with integrated beach entries on two sides to facilitate supervised child access. The entire pool interior was retiled with contemporary white glass mosaics and contrasting step demarcations. While retaining the original dolphin motif, we refreshed the artistic renderings with modern contour detailing.

New surface skimmers and a twin main drain sump system were installed to meet current standards. An automated safety pool cover was customized to fit the unique shape. To maintain pristine water quality, the latest UV and pre-filter systems were incorporated along with a new filtration system. The surrounding pool deck was repaved according to the clients’ vision and screed wall finishes completed the renovation. The clients now enjoy a refreshed family oasis complete with modern amenities and a dedication to family safety. Despite its uniquely challenging original design, the pool has been successfully updated for decades to come.
