Custom Pool Designs Built Around Your Vision
At GroupWorks, pool design is where it all starts. Before a single shovel of dirt is moved, we work with you to create a custom pool concept that fits your home, your property and your lifestyle.
We specialize in custom gunite pools, not pre-formed fiberglass or vinyl shapes. That means your pool isn’t chosen from a catalog. It’s designed from scratch, every detail, depth, shape, tile, decking, lighting, chosen to match your style and your space.
Designed for Style, Built for Performance
We specialize in gunite pools, which offer unlimited flexibility in size, depth, shape, and features. Unlike fiberglass or vinyl pools, gunite allows us to design highly personalized structures that match your home’s architecture and topography.
Custom Pool Design Features May Include:
- Infinity or vanishing edges (for properties with views or slopes)
- Tanning ledges and sun shelves
- Swim-up bars, in-pool seating, and shallow lounges
- Spillover spas or built-in hot tubs
- Waterfalls, deck jets, and laminar fountains
- LED lighting and automation systems
We also help you select finishes like glass tile, quartz or pebble plaster, natural stone coping, and custom concrete or paver decking, all selected to complement your overall aesthetic.
Our Design-First Philosophy
Most pool companies focus on installation. At GroupWorks, design leads the way. We approach each project as part of a larger outdoor living plan, not a standalone build.
Your design includes:
- Property walkthrough and site analysis
- Custom pool layout and orientation planning
- 3D renderings and elevation modeling
- Hardscape and landscape integration
- Structural, mechanical, and drainage planning
- Tile, plaster, coping, decking, and water feature selection
Everything from pool placement to plumbing systems is considered with the big picture in mind, including sun exposure, privacy, grade changes, and how your family will actually use the space.
Seamless Integration with Outdoor Living
Your pool is more than a water feature, it’s part of a larger environment. Our team ensures your pool works in harmony with:
- Existing or planned patios, kitchens, and lounge areas
- Masonry features like fire pits, retaining walls, and walkways
- Landscape lighting and plantings
- Drainage and grading plans
By managing all aspects of the design and construction process in-house, we eliminate gaps in coordination, and deliver a fully integrated, high-functioning space.
Custom Swimming Pool Designs Built for the Connecticut Landscape
Custom pools in the Northeast require special consideration. Winters are harsh, summers are humid, and zoning regulations can be strict. We design for:
- Seasonal freeze/thaw cycles and proper structural reinforcement
- Efficient drainage and waterproofing
- Compliant fencing, barrier, and setback requirements
- Smart equipment selection for heating, filtration, and maintenance
