Each Optima Design is Unique, Just Like You
Every Optima design is one-of-kind and unique to the specific home site and client desires. Our architects expertly consider important site parameters such as views, wind, sun, landscaping, drainage & other site regulations when designing your oasis. When building alongside a homebuilder, we easily speak “architect” with the homebuilder’s architect, making it easy for both the homeowner and homebuilder at every step of the process.
Water is the Main Feature
Optima doesn’t just design pools. Water is the main feature and that usually includes a pool, pond or fountain. Throughout history, water has been one of the essential needs for human survival. It is so vastly important to humans that civilizations are formed around natural water sources. We are powerfully & mysteriously attracted to and fascinated by its movement, visual beauty, sound and calming effect. Thus, water becomes the main feature in the quest for the ultimate outdoor experience.
Our Commitment
Our Process
Below is a high-level overview of our 5-step process, ensuring you’ll know what to expect every step of the way.
Building a custom pool begins with excavation and dirt work to shape the site, followed by setting the form that defines its outline. Next, steel reinforcement is placed for added strength, plumbing lines are installed for circulation, and finally, the gunite is applied to create a durable, lasting shell.
Once the pool’s shell is complete, we shape its character with stonework and concrete—adding coping, patios, and pathways for safety and style. We then apply plaster for a smooth, waterproof finish, and can further enhance your outdoor space with specialty fireplaces and shade structures.
After the build is complete, we coordinate inspections to ensure every element meets quality and safety standards. We then perform a thorough pool start-up, fine-tuning equipment and water chemistry for optimal performance. Finally, during “Pool School,” we’ll teach you everything you need to know for easy, ongoing maintenance and care.
