Bespoke Pools

Perth’s custom pool specialists

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and we believe the pool is the heart of a backyard, especially with our warm Perth climate.

That being said, a pool should seamlessly connect with your home and not appear as a stand-alone eyesore in the middle of your yard. This is why clever design solutions are vital. De Vries Pools are experts in bespoke swimming pools, particularly the design and implementation of above ground pools.

Our landscape designer will collaborate with you to custom design and tailor a pool suited to your lifestyle and outdoor requirements.

Custom pools designed around your outdoor space

A bespoke pool should feel like it belongs to the home, the landscape and the way you live outdoors.

At De Vries Designs, every pool is planned with the full outdoor space in mind, from placement and proportions through to paving, planting, fencing, privacy, access and connection to alfresco areas.

By considering the pool and landscape together from the beginning, we create spaces that feel cohesive, practical and beautifully resolved.

Custom pool solutions for perth homes

Above-ground pools

Above-ground pools can be a clever solution for Perth homes with sloping sites, limited access or compact outdoor areas. When designed well, they can create strong architectural impact and integrate beautifully with decking, planting and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Plunge pools & Compact pools​

Not every backyard needs a large pool to feel complete. A custom plunge pool or compact pool can make excellent use of a smaller space while still creating a beautiful place to cool off, relax and entertain.
  • Inner-suburban homes
  • Smaller backyards 
  • Clients wanting a pool without overwhelming the outdoor area

What do you need consider?

Every pool decision affects how the space looks, feels and functions. Our team can guide you through the practical and design considerations that shape a custom pool.

Where is the best place to position the pool in your space? Would you like something private, or would you rather the pool be a social space or focal point in the backyard?

What will be your main use for the pool? Do you need a long, narrow pool to swim laps in? Or a more open space where the kids can splash around? Perhaps a plunge to sit in while sipping a cocktail with friends?

Do you want the pool to have a consistent depth, or would you prefer a slope from shallow to deep? If children are going to use the pool, would you like to incorporate a ledge or wider steps?

What colour tiling or fibreglass would best suit your outdoor aesthetics? Should it blend in with the landscaping or be a bold statement?

What kind of fencing best suits your needs? What style will compliment your garden most?

+ Removes the need for fencing, as the pool can act in isolation

+ Acts as a point of reference and line of sight which is visually appealing

+ Can be utilised for retaining

+ Creates a destination within the garden

+ Placement of plants between the pool and alfresco area creates the illusion of no isolation fencing
