Swimming pool design

At JM Architect, we view swimming pool design as a complex fusion of hydraulic engineering and sensory luxury. For our premium residential clients, a pool is not just a water body but a centerpiece that must harmonize with the home’s architecture. Our design philosophy centers on “Vanishing Horizons,” where we utilize perimeter-overflow systems and infinity edges to create a seamless transition between the water and the landscape. By selecting a sophisticated palette of non-slip porcelain deck tiles and deep-hued glass mosaics, we ensure the water takes on a vibrant, resort-like tonality. A key innovation in our swimming pool design is the integration of “Submerged Social Zones,” featuring built-in underwater benches and heating/chilling systems that allow for year-round usability, regardless of the extreme temperature fluctuations in Pakistan.

The story behind our pool builds is a reflection of the JM Architect commitment to structural permanence and technical transparency. Many homeowners in Pakistan face the nightmare of seepage and filtration failure due to substandard waterproofing and generic plumbing. For a recent 1-Kanal project in a prestigious sector, we managed a realistic investment of 4,500,000 PKR, covering everything from the reinforced concrete shell to the high-end automated filtration system. While many contractors rush the process, leading to long-term leaks, we follow a strict 120-day “Safety-First” timeline. This allows for a critical 21-day curing period for the concrete and a mandatory 7-day hydro-static test before any tile is laid. By deploying our specialized in-house MEP teams and utilizing triple-layer liquid membrane waterproofing, we completed the project in exactly 4 months. We handed over a crystal-clear, leak-proof sanctuary that functions with the precision of a professional facility, ensuring the client’s investment is protected for decades to come.
