Your Barrington Pools design consultant will provide you information regarding the merits of different styles and advise on which best suits your vision. The possibilities are truly endless.
Swimming Pool Styles
Classic pools
Clean lines and 90 degree angles evoke a Mediterranean look and feel, and straight lines are used to create dramatic focal points. Classic swimming pools can be built with Grecian or Roman themes and may include decorative details, such as custom tile work, to accentuate the motif.
Modern Pools
Modern pools are, in a word, square. Can something square be cool? Yes. Create your Zen space with a modern pool. Designs can be very elaborate and can be planned to complement the architecture of your home---even it is not a modern style home.
Free Form Pools
Free Form pools have become a popular design style to create a focal point for your backyard gathering space. This style is a great solution to increase the size of your pool around existing architecture and landscaping.
Natural pools
Use of curves and soft angles recreates shapes found in nature. The absence of rigid angles and straight lines creates a swimming pool that complements your surroundings. Natural pools can be built with stone decking, a sloping beach entry, water falls, and other rock features.
Vanishing Edge Pools
Vanishing Edge pools are also referred to as negative edge pools, infinity edge pools or zero edge pools. Vanishing Edge swimming pools create a stunning visual effect by featuring at least one side over which water continually flows into a catch basin below. The vanishing edge draws your eye beyond the edge of your swimming pool, because the visual 'stop' is the horizon beyond.
