Luxury Custom Pool Designs

Find Your Perfect Pool

Not sure where to start? Every Watercolor Pools build begins with one question — what kind of pool fits your life? Browse our three signature builds below, then tell us which direction feels right.

We build three core pool styles across Central Texas — each one designed to work with a different backyard, budget, and lifestyle. Whether you want a compact retreat, a clean architectural statement, or a flowing natural escape, every Watercolor Pools project is fully custom to your property.

No off-the-shelf builds. No two pools the same.

THE COCKTAIL POOL

Cocktail pools are a sophisticated way to bring luxury outdoor living into a smaller footprint, whether tucked into a compact backyard or designed as a standout centerpiece within the landscape. While smaller in scale, they can include the same high-end features and finish selections as a larger custom pool, from heaters and spa jets to water features and premium interior materials, creating a space that feels elevated, intentional, and fully custom.

WHAT'S TYPICALLY INCLUDED

Compact footprint — typically 10–15ft in length
Greater depth for standing and soaking
Attached spa or jet seating common
Tanning ledge or bench seating
High-end tile and finish selections
Ideal for covered patio integration
Lower running costs than full-size pools

BEST SUITED FOR

Smaller backyards, urban or suburban lots, homeowners wanting a low-maintenance luxury feature, or as a spa-forward companion to existing outdoor living spaces.

THE RECTANGULAR POOL

Rectangular and geometric pools are defined by precision, symmetry, and architectural clarity, making them an exceptional choice for homes where the outdoor space should feel as considered as the structure itself. With their clean edges and disciplined layout, these pools create a polished visual statement while offering the flexibility to incorporate elevated features such as integrated spas, perimeter-overflow details, tanning ledges, and automatic covers with a seamless, tailored finish.

WHAT'S TYPICALLY INCLUDED

Classic geometric footprint — fully customisable dimensions
Sun shelf / tanning ledge
Attached or freestanding spa options
Clean coping and deck integration
Ideal for water features and fire features
Strong resale value
Suits most Central Texas lot sizes and orientations

BEST SUITED FOR

Homeowners who want a timeless, architecturally clean aesthetic. Works equally well as a lap pool, family swim pool, or entertainer’s centrepiece.

THE FREEFORM POOL

Freeform pools are all about relaxed luxury, using soft curves and flowing lines to create a backyard that feels more like a private resort than a rigid layout. Instead of forcing the yard into a strict shape, the waterline moves with the landscape—wrapping around tanning ledges, rockwork, planters, and seating areas—to create a more natural, organic rhythm. This style pairs beautifully with stone, lush planting, waterfalls, and fire features, making the entire space feel immersive, inviting, and designed for lingering, not just swimming.

WHAT'S TYPICALLY INCLUDED

Organic, curved design tailored to your lot
Natural rock features, grottos, or beach entries
Waterfalls and water features highly complementary
Tropical or naturalistic landscaping integration
Lagoon-style or resort aesthetic
Spa integration options
Highly customisable interior finish selections

BEST SUITED FOR

Larger or irregular lots, homeowners after a resort or tropical aesthetic, and builds where the pool is intended to be the centrepiece of a full backyard transformation.

Features & Add-Ons

Your pool is the foundation. What surrounds it — and what you add to it — is what transforms a backyard into a full outdoor living experience.

FIRE PITS & FIRE FEATURES

A fire feature beside your pool creates an atmosphere that no other backyard element can match. From integrated fire bowls to freestanding gas fire pits, we design and build fire features that complement your pool's finish and your outdoor living layout.

WATER FEATURES

Waterfalls, deck jets, sheer descents, and spillover spas — water features bring movement and sound to your pool environment and are one of the most popular upgrades in our builds. Fully integrated into the pool design, not bolted on as an afterthought.

PERGOLAS

Shade, structure, and style. A well-designed pergola or covered outdoor space extends the usability of your pool area year-round and ties the entire backyard together as a cohesive living environment. We design and build pergola structures to complement your pool and home.
