Out Of Ground Pools

Experience Elevated Pool Design by Laguna

Striking, sculptural and expertly engineered, an out of ground pool by Laguna is a bold architectural statement that redefines what’s possible in pool design. Elevated above natural ground level, these pools are perfect for challenging sites, sloping blocks or statement installations where visibility and aesthetics are paramount. At Laguna, we specialise in custom concrete above or out of ground pools that harmonise structure with style. Whether perched on a city rooftop, part of an expansive outdoor living area or seamlessly integrated into a split-level courtyard, our raised pool designs transform your space into a luxurious architectural feature.

What Is An Out Of Ground Pool?

An out of ground pool, also known as an above ground pool, is a structurally reinforced swimming pool built fully or partially above the existing ground level. Often constructed on sloping blocks, rooftops or where excavation isn’t feasible, these pools require careful engineering and a tailored design approach to ensure durability, function and visual elegance. At Laguna, our out of ground pools are custom-created to align with the home’s architecture and landscape, turning practical necessity into luxury expression. With options for cantilevered edges, glass or acrylic windows and layered landscaping, these pools are anything but ordinary. Something clearly evident in our SPASA multi-award winning out of ground pool in Balwyn North.

Why Choose a Custom Out of Ground Pool?

Out of ground pools are often ideal for difficult or sloped sites, courtyards with height constraints or homes where visibility is key. But they’re also a canvas for creativity, offering opportunities to showcase dramatic features like exposed concrete exteriors, glass walls, architectural lighting and integrated seating. Individually designed and built for the specific conditions of your site, our team considers every detail of the site. From location to elevation and surroundings, to your vision and home’s style, we guarantee to deliver a pool that’s not only visually exceptional, but also enduring in performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Out of Ground Pools

Out of ground pools are exceptionally versatile. The benefit of this is that they offer a design freedom that traditional in-ground pools can’t match. Because they don’t rely on excavation, they can be installed on sloping blocks, rooftops, courtyards or even suspended above other living spaces.
This flexibility allows for striking architectural features like cantilevered edges, glass viewing panels, custom cladding and integrated landscaping. Whether your property is compact, steep, or ultra-modern, a raised pool by Laguna can be tailored to suit your space, style and structural requirements, delivering both visual impact and lasting functionality.

They can be, due to the additional structural work, waterproofing and engineering required. However, they often eliminate the need for excavation and allow for creative design features that add long-term value. At Laguna, we ensure each project balances aesthetics, purpose and lifestyle.

Out of ground pools are ideal for sites where traditional in-ground construction is impractical or where elevated design impact is desired. They’re particularly suited to sloping blocks, rooftop terraces, inner-city courtyards and properties with rocky or compacted ground.
These pools also excel in architecturally designed homes where the pool is intended to be a visible feature. At Laguna, we custom-design every out of ground pool to complement the site’s natural contours and maximise both space and aesthetic potential.

Absolutely. Whether placed on an inner city rooftop or partially integrated into a country landscape, every out of ground pool by Laguna is constructed and engineered to withstand pressure, environmental exposure and movement. We design to Australian safety standards and ensure all structural elements, retaining walls, support beams and finishes are crafted to deliver outstanding longevity and performance.
