We design and build resort-grade pools for private homes on the Gold Coast — bespoke water architecture shaped around light, landscape, and the life you want to live outside.
Bespoke design
Every pool begins with your block, your light, and your life — not a showroom catalogue.
Resort-grade finish
We use the same waterline tiles, Pebblecrete plasters, and coping stone as five-star hotel pools.
Full-service build
Design, engineering, certification, construction, handover — one studio, no sub-contractor runaround.
On-time delivery
340+ completed pools. Transparent milestones. You'll know where we are every week.
Stillwater was founded in 2008 by a Gold Coast architect who believed residential pools deserved the same spatial intelligence as any other room in the home. That conviction hasn't changed.
We work exclusively on the Gold Coast — Broadbeach Waters, Mermaid Waters, Benowa, Mudgeeraba, Palm Beach, Currumbin — because this city's light, its humidity, its salt air, and its block geometry demand local expertise. We know which soils need deeper footings. We know how the afternoon sun tracks across a north-east facing backyard in December.
Our team of eight combines architectural design, structural engineering, and a licensed construction crew. Every project passes through a single project architect from concept sketch to handover. No handoffs. No surprises.
We don't build off a menu. We listen, then design something that couldn't exist on any other block.
The visual boundary of water meets sky. We engineer the balance tank, overflow channel, and return system to work invisibly in the Gold Coast's 10–18°C temperature swing.
Learn more25-metre competition geometry or compact 12-metre wellness pools with resistance jets — engineered for performance, finished for aesthetics.
Learn moreCompact, architectural. For inner-city blocks and courtyard gardens where space is tight but the brief isn't. Often paired with a deck-level coping flush to the surrounding stone.
Learn moreStatement pools for prestige properties and acreage lots. We integrate the pool, sun deck, shade pavilion, outdoor kitchen, and landscape as a single water architecture composition.
Learn moreTired 1990s concrete shell? We resurface, re-tile, re-equip, and re-line existing pools so they look and perform like new — often in under four weeks.
Learn moreHayward Omni and Pentair ScreenLogic integration — control water chemistry, lighting, jets, and heating from your phone. We install; you swipe.
Learn moreWe visit your block, walk the orientation, review soil reports, and assess council DA requirements — all before you spend a dollar. We tell you what's genuinely possible, not just what looks good in a render.
Your project architect produces concept drawings, 3D volume studies, and the structural engineering package. We refine until the design is exactly right — not close enough.
We prepare and lodge your DA or CDC, manage responses, and hold the licence under QBCC. You sign the contract once the permit is in hand — no speculative approvals, no surprises.
Our own crew digs, forms, plasters, tiles, and commissions your pool. We hand you a completed pool file — every certificate, every warranty card, every chemical baseline — and walk you through the controls in person.
Most Gold Coast builds — from signed contract to water in the pool — complete in 14–20 weeks. We'll give you an honest programme at consultation.
Book your free consultWe've lived on the Gold Coast twenty years and always assumed a proper infinity pool was out of reach. Stillwater came to the block, listened, and came back with a design we hadn't imagined. The build ran exactly on the programme they promised. The pool looks like it belongs to a five-star resort.
Our block in Mermaid Waters is tight — under 400m². Every builder I spoke to said a proper pool wasn't possible. Stillwater's architect came up with a courtyard plunge design that completely transformed the outdoor space. I use it every single morning.
We had a quote from two other companies before Stillwater. The others basically copied each other. Stillwater's proposal was completely different — and when we asked why, the architect walked us through the orientation logic for thirty minutes without a clock on it. That's when we knew.
A free, no-pressure site consultation. We visit your block, answer your questions honestly, and leave you with a clear picture of what's possible — whether you choose Stillwater or not.
