South Africa Custom Pool Design

Custom pool design for South Africa homes

South Africa has some of the best pool sites in the world. Homes above Cape Town look out at Table Mountain and the ocean, and the light here is bright and clear. Modern Pools has designed custom pools since 1999 from our studio in Austin, Texas. We do not have a crew in South Africa. We design your pool in 3D, and your own local builder does the construction from our plans.

Built for real water scarcity

Many parts of South Africa face drought, and water is a real concern. We keep that front of mind when we design. We size the pool to fit the way you swim, plan for a cover to cut evaporation, and choose shapes that lose less water to the strong sun. A plunge pool is a smart water-wise choice for a small lot, since it holds less water and still cools you off on hot days.

Designed for the view

Luxury homes here often sit on steep slopes with huge views. An infinity pool works well on these lots, since the edge seems to drop away toward the ocean or the mountain. For softer, natural sites we design a freeform pool that follows the shape of the land. We set the pool so it catches the best view from the water and from the house.

Water features and outdoor living

A great view pairs well with the sound of moving water. We design water features like sheer descents, spillways, and fire and water into the plan from the start. Around the pool we plan outdoor living space with decks, shade, and an outdoor kitchen, so your family can spend long South Africa evenings by the water.

How we work with your builder

We start with your lot, your views, and your budget. We build the full design in 3D so you can see it before anything is dug. Then we hand clear plans and specs to your local South Africa builder, who does the construction. For special view projects our team can travel to your site to plan and guide the work.
