Our Approach

Aquattica’s approach to design begins with programming and planning. We work with school districts, municipalities, non-profit organizations, and private corporations in a collaborative process to develop a long-range vision for each project. With this vision as the foundation of our work, we can make program, service, and space requirement recommendations that will support our clients’ goals for their aquatics facilities.

We facilitate the initial planning process. We have the experience to bring large groups of stakeholders to consensus so that projects stay on track, while at the same time making sure that everyone is part of the decision-making process. We also act as interpreters, ensuring that the vision is translated into project design. Finally, Aquattica creates programs with operations and cost-control as a priority: forecasting the operations, maintenance, related costs, life-cycles and ongoing needs of the facility are critical to the design process.

Each project is assigned a select team of architects, engineers, and other professionals chosen for their expertise and experience in areas relevant to the project. This team remains consistent from concept to completion and beyond, ensuring continuity and personalized service throughout the project.
