Horsley Townsend Architects - specialising in swimming pool design in North Yorkshire

At Horsley Townsend we have wide ranging expertise in the design of swimming pool installations for residential properties. Not only is adding a pool to your home the perfect way to add value to your home, it will also enhance your lifestyle. We’ll utilise our expertise to maximise space within your property, whether this is through the addition of a swimming pool extension, basement pool or detached pool building.

Swimming pool designers in North Yorkshire

We understand that every project is unique and as such will closely with you to ensure the end result exceeds your expectations. From initial design ideas and conception, through to the completion of your project, we’ll use our expertise to create a design which complements and maximises the potential of your home.

Our design process starts with an initial meeting during which we’ll talk through your ideas, budget and any possible site constraints or opportunities. Over the years we have worked on numerous projects on what might be considered challenging locations, such as Listed Buildings, National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We’ll use our expertise to seek pre-planning advice if required, with the aim of finding design solutions which complement your surrounding landscape.

When it comes to possible pool design options, it’s worth bearing in mind that a pool installation project doesn’t necessarily have to be limited by the size of your property. A range of possible design options could be available, including a detached pool building, extension or basement pool. Furthermore and if space allows, why not consider a pool and spa?

Once we have completed the initial consultation and design phases of your project, we will prepare the drawings required for building regulations, whilst working with any other consultants whose expertise may be required, such as surveyors. The next step is for us to seek competitive tenders from experienced swimming pool contractors. Last and by no means least, we will continue to provide support and expertise throughout the build stage of your project, carrying out regular site visits and inspections as required.
