Bespoke swimming pool architects in London | Horsley Townsedn

At Horsley & Townsend we are an experienced team of architects who provide design services for swimming pool design projects in London and surrounding areas. Our architectural services cover all aspects of bespoke swimming pool design, including detached pool buildings, basement pools and spa facilities.

Do I need an architect for my swimming pool project?

When it comes to the design of an indoor swimming pool an architect plays an essential role. We provide expertise and support throughout the design and build process, ensuring the project is as stress-free as possible and that your budget is adhered to.

One of the most important benefits of working with one of our swimming pool architects in London is that the project is considered in close detail during the planning stages. By paying close consideration to planning, we will help to ensure costs are minimised whilst avoiding stress once construction starts.

We have the expertise to assist with all aspects of your indoor swimming pool design and build project, including initial design ideas and technical drawings, planning permission, building regulations, structural and groundwater analysis, energy and insulation considerations.

Lastly, it’s also important to remember that detailed plans are an essential requirement in order to obtain accurate quotes from swimming pool builders, contractors and the other trades who will be involved in the project. We’ll work closely with you throughout, providing our expertise when liaising with contractors and on-site supervision during the construction phase.

Swimming pool design and construction

Although pool extensions or detached pool buildings are a desirable option, properties in London are often restricted in terms of exterior space available. As such, installing a basement swimming pool is becoming an increasingly popular option. Providing a superb way to increase living space whilst adding value to a property, utilising the otherwise unused space in a basement allows for the installation of a stylish pool.

If sufficient exterior space is available, there’s no doubt that a detached pool building or pool extension makes a highly sought after option. We have wide ranging expertise in the design of both pool extensions and detached buildings, alongside basement pools and spa/wellness facilities.
