Horsley & Townsend - architects and swimming pool designers in Berkshire

We have extensive experience in swimming pool design having been involved in a wide range of pool design and installation projects. A swimming pool makes the perfect addition to your home, offering a superb way to enhance your lifestyle. At Horsley & Townsend we understand how to design and install a pool so as to make the most of the space within a property through the addition of an extension or basement conversion. Alternatively, we also have expertise in the design and construction of detached garden pool buildings.

Bespoke swimming pool design

We use a tried and tested approach to swimming pool design which starts with an in-depth consultation to ensure the end result exceeds your expectations. During this initial meeting we’ll talk through your ideas, whilst also taking the time to explore the opportunities available, or constraints such as AONB or listed building status. Once this initial consultation stage has been completed, we will create a design brief to meet your requirements and aspirations for the project.

 

In terms of swimming pool installation, a number of options are available so you don’t necessarily have to be constrained by your home’s footprint. At Horsley & Townsend we have designed and built basement indoor swimming pools and garden swimming pools, housed in purpose-built, detached buildings.

 

We have experience in the design and installation of swimming pools in a range of locations including Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, National Parks, Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas. Installing a swimming pool in properties in locations such as these seems like a challenge. However, we have the expertise required to seek appropriate pre-planning advice, with the aim of ensuring your pool meets your expectations whilst also complementing your local environment.

 

When the design and planning stages have been finalised, we will prepare the drawings necessary for building regulations, whilst coordinating other consultants (if required) and surveyors. It is during this stage that we will also source competitive tenders from contractors with experience of installing swimming pools in Berkshire. Then, once swimming builders are on sight, we’ll carry out regular site inspections.
