Los Angeles Custom Pool Design

Custom Pool Design for Los Angeles

Modern Pools is a custom pool design studio based in Austin, Texas. We have designed pools since 1999. We do not build pools in Los Angeles and we do not have an office or crew there. What we offer is the design work.

We create your full pool plan from our Austin studio. Then we hand the plans to your local Los Angeles builder, who handles the construction. You get a carefully planned design plus a local team for the building part.

Designing for Los Angeles

Los Angeles yards are not simple. Many homes sit on steep hillsides and canyon lots where a pool has to be planned with great care. Areas like the Hollywood Hills, Bel Air, and Malibu are full of sloped sites and homes with big views.

A pool on a slope needs strong seismic engineering so it stays safe and stable during an earthquake. We plan for the grade of your lot, the soil, and the way water needs to be held in place. Every drawing keeps safety first.

Los Angeles homes also love indoor-outdoor living. Big glass doors slide open, and the pool becomes part of the home. We design the pool to line up with your home and to frame the view you already paid for. The water, the deck, and the sightlines all work together.

How We Work From Austin

First, we learn about your home, your lot, and what you want. Then we build a full 3D design so you can see your pool before anything is dug. You can look at it from every angle and ask for changes until it feels right.

For spectacular projects, we travel to see the site in person. Being on the lot helps us plan for the slope, the view, and the way the sun moves across your yard.

When the design is set, we share the plans with your local Los Angeles builder. We answer their questions and stay in touch during the build so the finished pool matches what we drew.

What We Design

We design pools made for hillside modern homes. That includes infinity pools that seem to spill toward the view, which fit canyon and ridge lots very well. The edge lines up with the horizon so the water and the sky feel like one.

We also design spas, water features, and clean modern shapes that match today's Los Angeles homes. A spa can tuck into the pool, and a simple water wall can add calm sound to your yard.

We plan the whole space, not just the water. Our outdoor living designs tie the pool to your deck, seating, and shade so the backyard works as one place to relax.

Why Los Angeles Homeowners Choose Us

We are honest about what we do. We design, and your local builder builds. That keeps the roles clear and gives you strong work on both sides.

We have handled hard lots for many years, so a steep slope or a big view does not scare us. We plan for it. And with our 3D design, you know exactly what you are getting before the work starts.
