Pool Design Sydney

A pool that suits your property

We’ve been designing pools and gardens around Sydney for years now. If there is one thing we know, it’s that each job is different in its own way. Every block has its quirks. Every family uses their space differently. That’s the most important part of the job – understanding how a space is actually going to be used. And that’s exactly why we never take a cookie-cutter approach with our custom pool designs.

Our goal is always the same though – a pool that looks great and works well. If there is one thing we know, it’s that each job is different in its own way. We’re pool designers based in Sydney but we can also design the full outdoor area too, so everything ties in properly from day one.

Why pool design matters

Before you get to the building phase, you need the right plan. A good pool design helps you get accurate pricing, avoid back-and-forth changes during construction, and makes approvals much easier.

We have a conversation with you to figure out what your expectations are – The most important element is understanding the client brief and site. After that, we design a clear and workable plan that looks good, measures up to the space, and conforms with council or CDC standards as well as fitting your needs.

CDC and DA approval for pools

We also understand how to follow the NSW Complying Development Rules. If it’s eligible for a Complying Development Certificate (CDC), we will manage the process and there is no need to involve council. If your development needs a DA, we will take care of everything for you. In any case, we’ll manage all the necessary forms.

What we actually do

As bespoke pool designers in Sydney, we do more than just draw the shape of the pool.

Your site, your house, and your routine are considered to design the perfect pool for you. When we design, we plan for how sun and shade will affect the environment, make sure you have privacy, decide on how the space works, where to sit, and think about its appearance in years to come.

We are pool designers but we also specialise in pool landscaping in Sydney. Practicality is always in our mind when putting the design together. This way all of the pieces fit together naturally and your garden can look finished – planting, paving, fencing or decking. Our design team love creating the combination of garden, pool and pavilions — a whole space that works.

Picking the types of finishes and materials

We assist you in choosing finishes that go well with your house and the cost you can afford. You can achieve great results with simple choices when it comes to stone, tile, timber or color. You can visit our showroom to look through pool coping, tiling, timber decking and other materials we often recommend. We believe in making things simple with just good quality.

Using materials that are sustainable is very important to us, but we also think about long-term maintenance and how it will all age over time. Low-maintenance planting is one of the main ways we build in sustainability. We don’t overcomplicate it.

Safety and compliance

All the designs we prepare include pool fencing that follows the regulations. It’s not only important to hit the safety goals — we put effort into making fencing fit in, so that it doesn’t feel out of place. All of what we do is guided by the Australian Standards and the NSW Swimming Pools Act

We’ve had plenty of experience dealing with councils, certifiers and private builders. We keep all regulations in mind and manage how your project meets them, so you don’t have to worry about those things.

Pool design that leads to better building outcomes

As soon as your plans are finished, we can introduce you to skilled pool builders. We’ve dealt with excellent builders in the past, and we will select ones that match your site’s needs and your budget.

It can be quite a challenge to identify a builder, especially for a pool. However, having a strategy and working with professionals such as Space Landscape Designs can take away a lot of the stress.

Let’s create a space you’ll love to use

An expertly built pool should become the main attraction of your outdoor living space. No matter if you are entertaining, unwinding, or watching the kids play, the pool should feel at ease in your home.

Our goal is to help you get a pool that fits both comfortably and with your way of living. That means easy to maintain, practical to use, and a space you’ll want to spend time in.

Space Landscape Designs is the ‘concierge’ who can help you with every step of the process from concept through completion.
