In the early 1990s we built one of the first "Vanishing Edge" pools in our local area. The result was beautiful. From that time on our main focus has been on that genre of pool design.

We fully believe that whatever the level of complexity of a project the same principles must be applied. We don't have multiple standards of construction.
