Our story

Our expertise,
from France to Morocco

We learned this trade in France, on free-form projects, at a time when very few companies were building them. We settled in Marrakech — not to export a method, but because this is where the trade makes full sense.

The path

From a first pool
to a trade

In France

The beginnings, in France

At the time, the French pool was a rectangle. Free forms existed, but they remained marginal: few companies knew how to reinforce a curve and spray concrete onto it. That is where we started, on projects where everything had to be set out on the ground and adjusted on site, because no catalogue gave the answer.

This is not a trade you learn on a crash course. A submerged shallow area whose slope is three degrees out cannot be put right afterwards.

Learning what lasts

You mostly learn this trade by going back to pools built years earlier. That is where you really understand what ages well, what fails, and why.

What fails is almost never the structure. It is the waterproofing at inside corners, badly finished wall penetrations, the waterline, reinforcement laid too close to the surface. It is that feedback which shaped the way we work — far more than any technical data sheet.

Settling in Marrakech

We settled in Morocco recently. It is from Marrakech that we study projects and follow the works, as a builder of bespoke lagoon pools.

The reason is simple. The lagoon pool was invented for gardens in hot climates, with planting, changes of level and a gradual entry into the water. In France, you often had to convince people. Here, the site does half the work: the gardens have levels, established olive trees, rammed-earth walls, and a culture of water going back centuries.
Then

Morocco, city by city

Marrakech is our base, not our limit. We want to build lagoon pools wherever the climate and the gardens lend themselves to it — Casablanca, Rabat, Agadir, Essaouira, Tangier, and the countryside around them.

We will do it in order, keeping control over the follow-up of every project rather than growing faster than our ability to see it through.

In practice

What this experience
changes for you

A technique already proven

Concrete sprayed onto custom reinforcement, the cover over the steel, the slopes of the shallow area: these are not parameters we discover on your site.

Perspective on what ages

Seeing pools again long after they were filled is what explains why we insist so much on details that are invisible on handover day.

French standards, adapted to here

The construction methods come from our practice in France. The choices of materials, filtration and water management, on the other hand, are recalibrated for the Moroccan climate: heat, dust, hard water and heavy evaporation have nothing to do with a European summer.

A team that settles, not one that passes through

We live here. That means we can come back to adjust the filtration after the first season, step in for a repair, and stand behind our projects over time — which a company that builds and then takes the plane home cannot do.

The way we work

Four rules
we do not negotiate

01

We see the site before we price

A quote drawn up over the phone or from a photo is a quote that will move. The nature of the ground, machinery access and levels determine a large part of the price. Until we have come, we do not know — and we would rather say so.

02

The quote is detailed, line by line

A lump sum lets you neither compare, nor understand where the money goes, nor make trade-offs if the budget gets tight. You must be able to see what the earthworks, the structure, the waterproofing, the plumbing and the surroundings cost, separately.

03

One team from start to finish

Earthworks, structure, waterproofing, plumbing, surroundings: the project is followed by the same people. That is what avoids the sentence everyone has already heard on a building site — “that wasn’t us, that was the other trade”.

04

What saves water is decided before you dig

The cover, the type of filtration, the pool’s exposure and the choice of planting are all settled at the design stage. Afterwards, most of those savings become impossible or expensive. In a region where water matters, it is dealt with at the outset.

Frankly

What we
do not do

Better to say it straight away: it saves time on both sides.

We do not sell a pool without having come to see the site.
We do not quote a price per square metre: on this type of pool, it means nothing.
We do not promise a deadline before we have seen the site access and the nature of the ground.
We do not build shell pools: it is not our trade, and others do it better.
We do not take on more projects than our own team can follow.
