The water first
No pool edge, no step. Just a soft shore leading into clear water.

Guiding idea
The advantages
One pool. Every possibility.
Shallow for relaxing, deep for swimming — your beach pool is both at once. Scroll and see how it is used.
Sitting in the shallows
Float & lie backRelax safely
A flat sand entry and hydro seats in warm, shallow water — simply slide in and float.
Swimming lengths
Jumping in
Swimming & diving
A free shape with a deep zone, for jumping in and swimming lengths. Then back to the shallows.
Equipment & extras
Your pool, your extras.
Scroll and see what can be built into your beach pool.
Counter-current unit
Swim on the spot, properly, even in a compact pool.
Bubbling geyser
A sparkling water fountain as a living focal point.
Shallow zone for children
A safe sand entry, flat and gentle, even for the smallest.
Water heating
Extends the season well into autumn.
Underwater lighting
In the evening the pool becomes a lit stage.
Hydro seats
Places to sit and lie in warm, shallow water.
Also as an indoor pool
The same system in a conservatory or indoor pool: all year round, sheltered, as a private spa.
Classic in the garden
Modelled freely into the garden, with a beach entry: the outdoor pool that feels like a lagoon.
Environment & sustainability
Concrete-free. By nature.
A Bio.design pool is not a foreign body in the garden; it fits in, without concrete and without a major intervention in soil and water. That is exactly what makes it as natural as it looks.
No concrete
No curing, no concrete shell in the garden. An elastic EPDM membrane instead of PVC. The ground largely stays as it is.
No interference with groundwater
Built non-invasively: no hydrogeological changes, the system sits lightly in the ground rather than sealing it.
Reuse the water
Treatment with a very low salt content means the pool water can be used to water the plants instead of simply being drained.
Built to stay
The membrane stretches up to 300% and adapts to ground movement instead of tearing. 25+ years watertight instead of replacing liners.
Grains
Your surface, your choice.
Ten natural quartz grains for the top layer and the joint. Pick one and see how it looks on a real pool.
Top layer
MyLago Gold
Joint
Ticino
Top layer
Joint
The top layer sets the base tone of the walk-in surface, the joint adds the accent along the curved expansion joint. Freely combinable.
System
Seven layers instead of concrete.
Not a rigid concrete box, but a modelled system of fleece, membrane, reinforcing mesh and a patented resin-quartz surface. Scroll, and the pool comes together layer by layer, with footage from the real building site.
the EPDM membrane adapts to ground movement instead of tearing
twice the mechanical strength of structural concrete
durable against UV, frost and chlorine, no liner to replace
structural certificate from the University of Modena · 2 international patents
Excavating the ground
The excavation is the shape. Walls at a 40-degree slope, the base compacted with gravel and sand. Cement is expressly forbidden in the Bio.design system, because it would destroy the elastic behaviour of the shell. Below it sits a drainage layer that relieves groundwater pressure.
Day & night
A pool that lives after dark, too.
Clear turquoise by day, a lit stage in the evening. Drag the slider and watch your beach pool move from a sunny day into a warm evening.
DayNightDrag the slider, from a sunny day to a lit evening. The underwater lighting turns the pool into a stage well into the night.
What a pool really costs
Three ways to build. Three truths.
Concrete is sold as the cheap option, until the extras arrive. Here are the real ranges, and what is left in your garden at the end.
Concrete pool
- Price “on request”, extras are the norm
- Cracking & leaks from year 10
- 12–14 t of concrete in the garden for good
Steel-wall pool
- Prone to rust, liner replaced after ~10 yrs
- Off-the-shelf rectangle, no beach entry
- Low purchase price
Bio.design pool
- Transparent guide price, fixed price from one company
- No concrete – EPDM membrane, 25+ years watertight
- Sand look, beach entry, any shape
Time is summer
Your garden is ready the same summer – not the next one.
