A swimming pool should never feel like an isolated feature. At Mediterra, each pool is conceived as part of a complete outdoor composition — integrated with architecture, hardscape, lighting, landscape, and the way the home is lived in.
From sleek vanishing-edge pools to modern lap pools and resort-style backyard environments, we design and build refined swimming pools for premium residences across Toronto and the GTA, with careful attention to proportion, detailing, circulation, finishes, and long-term performance.
Every pool we create is shaped by the home’s architecture, the surrounding landscape, and the intended rhythm of daily life. Rather than treating the pool as a standalone installation, we develop it as part of a fully considered exterior environment — balancing form, movement, views, safety, materials, and how the space will actually be used.
Our work ranges from fully custom pool design and construction to complete outdoor environments where the pool is integrated with terraces, structures, lighting, planting, and outdoor living areas. Each project is tailored to the property, the architecture, and the level of use expected from the space.
We design a range of pool typologies depending on the site conditions, intended use, and architectural language of the residence. Some homes call for a restrained modern lap pool, while others require a more immersive resort-style composition with integrated spa, water elements, and multi-zone entertaining.
• Concrete / Gunite Pools
• Vanishing-edge and perimeter-overflow pools
• Architectural Modern Pools
• Lap pools and family pools
• Plunge Pools
• Pool & Spa Combinations
Beyond the pool shell itself, the detailing and feature selection define the overall experience. Lighting, water movement, ledges, heating, automation, and finish materials must all be coordinated carefully to achieve both visual refinement and reliable long-term performance.
• Tanning ledges and Baja shelves
• Waterfalls, Water Walls & Sheer Descents
• Integrated spas and hot tubs
• LED Lighting Systems
• Fire and water feature combinations
• Saltwater Systems
• Automated heating and control systems
• Premium Tile, Coping & finish materials
A luxury pool should belong to a larger outdoor environment. We coordinate the pool with surrounding terraces, pavilions, kitchens, planting, privacy strategies, and lighting so the entire property reads as one cohesive architectural composition rather than a series of disconnected installations.
• Poolside Interlock Patios & Stone Decking
• Cabanas, Pergolas & Pool Houses
• Outdoor Kitchens & Dining Zones
• Fire features and gathering spaces
• Landscape lighting
• Privacy screens and fencing
• Softscape and garden integration
We design and build custom swimming pools for private residences across Toronto’s most established neighbourhoods and select communities throughout the GTA, including Forest Hill, Rosedale, Lawrence Park, The Kingsway, Richmond Hill, King City, Kleinburg, Oakville, and other premium residential enclaves.
A swimming pool project at this level requires more than construction capability. It requires design judgement, technical coordination, and the ability to integrate the pool seamlessly into the architecture and larger outdoor environment. Our process is design-led from the outset, with principal oversight through planning, detailing, and execution.
Architectural-level design integration
Whether you are creating a refined lap pool, a full pool-and-spa composition, or a complete resort-style backyard, we would be pleased to discuss the project and explore the right approach for your property.
Designing a custom swimming pool involves far more than selecting finishes or equipment. A successful pool environment must respond to the architecture of the home, the natural topography of the site, and the surrounding outdoor living spaces.
Sightlines from interior rooms, sun exposure throughout the day, privacy considerations, and the relationship between terraces, pavilions, and landscape elements all influence the final design.
We evaluate each property holistically, ensuring that the pool becomes a natural extension of the residence rather than an isolated backyard feature.
Structural engineering, grading strategy, drainage, and long-term durability are considered early in the design phase. These technical decisions allow the finished environment to maintain its visual clarity while performing reliably over time.
When integrated properly, a pool becomes the central element of a larger outdoor environment — connecting architecture, landscape, and outdoor living into a cohesive residential experience.
A custom swimming pool rarely exists in isolation. In well-composed residential environments, the pool acts as a central element that connects architecture, landscape, and outdoor living spaces into a unified composition.
Terraces, outdoor kitchens, pavilions, landscape lighting, and garden structures all influence how the pool is experienced throughout the property. Circulation paths, seating areas, and sightlines from interior rooms must be carefully coordinated so the environment feels balanced and intentional.
Our approach considers the pool as one element within a broader residential setting. By aligning structural layout, material selections, and landscape design, the final result feels cohesive with the architecture of the home rather than added as an afterthought.
When designed thoughtfully, the pool becomes the focal point of the outdoor environment while supporting a variety of everyday uses — from quiet relaxation to larger social gatherings.
The investment in a custom swimming pool varies widely depending on design complexity, structural conditions, and the level of integration with surrounding architecture and landscape.
Unlike prefabricated or builder-grade installations, architecturally integrated pools are designed as part of a broader residential environment. Structural engineering, soil conditions, pool finishes, automation systems, lighting design, and surrounding hardscape elements all influence the final scope
In the Greater Toronto Area, fully integrated custom pools typically begin around $120,000–$150,000, with more complex environments — including vanishing edges, integrated spas, terraces, and outdoor living structures — often reaching $250,000 to $500,000+ depending on scale and specification.
Every project begins with a design consultation where we evaluate the site, structural conditions, and the surrounding architecture before establishing a detailed construction scope.
