Swimming pool construction in District One
District One's larger plots leave room for pools that are part of the architecture: an overflow edge facing the garden, a lap lane along a boundary, a spa beside the terrace. We design the pool with the villa and garden, then build it ourselves.

A private pool next to a lagoon
District One is built around a large crystal lagoon that, according to Meydan's real estate website, gives residents a beachfront at the centre of Dubai. So why add a private pool? Because it does a different job: water a few steps from the living room, shaded when you want it, used early in the morning or late at night without leaving the house. On the four- to eight-bedroom villas and mansions the community offers, a private pool is usually part of how the garden is organised, and its shape and edge are design decisions as much as engineering ones. The pools shown are from our projects in other Dubai communities.
Pool types that suit District One plots
Overflow pools
Water runs over one or more edges into a hidden channel, so the surface sits level with the deck. Suits Contemporary villas and formal terraces.
Infinity edges
One edge appears to disappear, which works where the garden drops in level or opens towards a view.
Lap pools
Long and narrow, often placed along a side boundary so the main garden stays open.
Skimmer pools
The familiar villa pool, simpler to build and maintain, in almost any shape.
Spas and wet decks
An outdoor jacuzzi beside the pool, or a shallow ledge for loungers and children.
Renovation
New finishes, edges, lighting or equipment for an existing villa pool.
Designing the pool with the house
Edges, steps, light and shade
On a large villa the pool is seen from many rooms and from the upper terraces, so its position and proportions matter as much as its size. We look at how it lines up with the living room doors, where the afternoon sun falls, and where a pergola or gazebo can give shade to the shallow end.
Lighting is planned with the garden, not added afterwards: underwater lights, perimeter LED lines, lit steps and the garden lighting around the deck are drawn together and shown in the 3D model at night.
