We don't build the pool.
We make it buildable anywhere.
Overflow and infinity pools, designed and engineered in France, built by a local team in the United States, Australia, or anywhere the site demands it. The contractor is local. The plans are not.

Why this exists
The plans are the project
Most overflow pools fail before the first excavator arrives. They fail in the absence of plans precise enough to survive a local crew and a vanishing edge that only works if it is level to the millimetre.
A client in Sydney or Miami does not need a French contractor on the pour. They need the overflow to be right before the concrete is closed. That is why we stay out of the shell, and inside the drawings.
We are not a local builder. We are not a cheap plan service. We are one office, design, hydraulic engineering, construction drawings, working in three languages.
Most of the pools we design, we will never see filled. The client, the architect and the builder are local. The engineering is not. That is why the plans have to work without us.

OUR METHOD
One sequence. It does not change.
Read the site
We start with the land: slope, views, house, and constraints. Almost all of this work is done remotely : from the survey, photographs, and, when we have them, drone files. A site visit is the exception, not the method.
Design the water into the place
The pool is not an object dropped onto a garden. It belongs to the land, the architecture, and the light. We start from the view, the house, and the way one will walk towards the water, not from a catalogue shape. The pool should look inevitable, as if the site had been waiting for that line.
Engineer what the builder cannot improvise
Overflow profile, balancing tank, hydraulics, levels to the millimetre. Documents made to be built. Fifteen years on site before the office became a design practice. Every drawing carries that experience.
A local team builds it
Mason, contractor or general builder, often a crew that has never built an infinity pool or a zero-edge (mirror) pool. We stay with the plans from here: annotated photos, video, written answers as the build moves. We travel only when a project truly requires it.
Two projects
Distance is a method, not a shortcut
Ontario, Canada
A tiered overflow pool, drawn in France, built on site by a local crew with no prior overflow experience. Cold climate, several water levels, the entire engineering done at a distance.
“This was my very first pool build. The cover installers said it was among the best pools they had seen in their careers.”
— Owner, Ontario
Catalonia, Spain
In collaboration with a local Spanish architect.
An infinity horizon pool with integrated spa, engineered remotely alongside the local architect managing the house build. Local contractors, full technical package delivered at a distance.
Three site visits at critical points : checking pipes before slab pouring, overflow edge levelling, final commissioning.
CLEAR LIMITS
What we do not do
We do not compete with the builder.
We specify equipment. We do not sell it in their place.
We work remotely. But a weekly video call does not replace a level check on the overflow edge — when that check is needed, we are on site.
We do not take on a standard two-skimmer rectangle that a competent local firm can already deliver.
Send a site survey
A plan of the land, a few photographs, what you want the water to do. We reply within 48 hours, in English or French.
