Artist Biography
From Vision to Legendary Reality
A Journey Across Continents
Beginning at just 19 years old in South Africa, Francois launched his first pool building company with nothing but raw talent and an unwavering vision for creating extraordinary outdoor spaces. His early work in the diverse landscapes of Africa taught him to work with natural elements in ways that few designers ever master.
His journey brought him to the United States, where he has left his mark across Michigan, Florida, Texas, and Indiana. Each region presented unique challenges and opportunities that shaped his distinctive approach to pool and waterscape design.
25 Years of Innovation
Over more than two decades, Francois has pioneered techniques in luxury pool construction that have become industry standards. From creating elaborate lazy rivers that wind through properties like natural streams to designing infinity edges that blur the line between pool and horizon, his portfolio showcases an evolution of increasingly bold and sophisticated designs.
His award-winning projects feature natural grottos with hidden waterfalls, integrated spas that seem carved from living rock, and dramatic fire features that dance across water surfaces. Each element is crafted to transform bold visions into tangible, unforgettable realities.
Design Philosophy
Creating More Than Pools
“I don’t design pools—I create outdoor experiences that become the soul of a property. Every project begins with understanding not just what the client wants, but how they want to feel when they’re in that space. Whether it’s the serenity of water flowing over natural stone or the drama of fire dancing on water, each element serves the larger vision of creating a legendary lifestyle.”
