New York Custom Pool Design

Custom Pool Design for New York

Modern Pools is a custom pool design studio based in Austin, Texas. We have focused on pool design since 1999, and our work has won national and international awards. We do not have an office, a crew, or finished pools in New York. What we offer there is design.

We create the plans and 3D renderings for your pool. Then your local New York builder handles the construction. This gives you careful, award-winning design paired with a nearby crew who knows the ground and the rules.

Designing for New York

New York asks a lot from a pool design. Winters get cold, and water and pipes can freeze. We plan for this from the start, with freeze protection built into the systems so the pool holds up season after season.

The lots vary widely. In the Hamptons and the Hudson Valley, we design for wide estate lots with room for long views and open water. These sites reward pools that sit well in the land and frame the setting.

In New York City and its close suburbs, space is tight. We design for small yards, narrow side access, and rooftop settings where every foot counts. We plan the layout so a crew can actually get equipment in and work.

New York also has strict codes and permit rules that change from town to town. We design with those limits in mind and keep the plans clear, so your local builder can move through review without surprises.

How We Work From Austin

We design your pool in 3D from our Austin studio. You see your pool before any ground is broken, with real shapes, materials, and views. We refine the design with you over video calls and shared files, so distance is not a problem.

For spectacular projects, we travel to New York to walk the site in person. Seeing the land, the light, and the setting helps us design a pool that fits the place.

When the design is set, we hand clear plans to your local builder. We can stay in touch with that builder during construction so the details come through as drawn.

What We Design

We design pools that make the most of New York settings. On estate and waterfront lots, infinity pools can carry the eye out toward the horizon or the treeline.

We design heated spas and water features that work in a cold climate, with freeze-protected systems planned in so they run well through the seasons.

We also design the space around the pool. Our outdoor living plans tie the pool to patios, seating, and shade, whether the setting is a wide Hamptons yard or a compact city rooftop.

Why New York Homeowners Choose Us

Homeowners choose us for the design itself. We have spent more than twenty years designing custom pools, and that focus shows in the plans.

We are honest about how we work. We design from Austin, we travel for the right projects, and your local builder handles the build. You always know who does what.

You get award-winning design and a nearby crew at the same time. That mix works well for the range of sites New York offers, from estate lots to tight urban yards.
