Freeform Pools Gold Coast
Freeform pools use curves, flowing lines and organic shapes to create a pool that feels naturally integrated with its surroundings. Rather than working within a standard rectangular footprint, the design can respond to the shape of your property, landscaping and outdoor living areas.
Our Gold Coast concrete pool builders can customise the shape, size and depth of your freeform pool and incorporate features such as integrated spas, ledges, seating and water features. The result is a pool designed specifically for your home and the way you want to enjoy your outdoor space.
Why Choose a Freeform Pool?
The flexibility of a freeform design makes it suitable for a wide range of properties. Curves can help soften an outdoor area, work around existing landscaping or make better use of an irregularly shaped backyard.
Freeform pools are also a popular choice when the goal is to create a relaxed, natural-looking pool area rather than the strong architectural lines of a geometric pool.
Depending on your property and preferences, your design could incorporate:
- Curved or irregular pool shapes
- Custom depths and swimming areas
- Integrated spas
- Tanning ledges and shallow relaxation areas
- Built-in seating and steps
- Waterfalls and other pool water features
- Custom lighting
- Pebble, tile and other interior finishes
- Natural stone, paving and landscaping around the pool
The Freedom of a Custom Concrete Pool
Concrete is particularly well suited to freeform pool construction because the pool isn't restricted to the dimensions or shape of a prefabricated shell.
This gives our designers greater freedom to work with the characteristics of your property. A freeform pool can curve around an entertaining area, respond to the contours of a sloping block or incorporate an existing landscape feature as part of the overall design.
The same flexibility applies below the waterline. Depth transitions, steps, ledges, seating and spa areas can all be considered as part of the initial design rather than added around a predetermined pool shell.
Designed as Part of Your Outdoor Space
The best freeform pools aren't designed in isolation.
The shape of the pool should work with your home, garden, entertaining areas and surrounding landscape so the entire outdoor area feels connected.
Planting, natural stone, paving and carefully positioned water features can complement the softer lines of a freeform pool, while lighting can highlight its shape and create an inviting setting for evening entertaining.
Whether you're starting with an established garden or planning a larger backyard transformation, we'll work with your ideas and property to develop a pool that feels considered from every angle.

Freeform Pool FAQs
What is a freeform pool?
A freeform swimming pool is deisgned to be an irregular shape with flowing curves and lines. One of the most popular and well-known freeform pool shapes is the famous kidney shaped pool.
When you think of a traditional swimming pool, you'd normally think of a regular shape (such as a rectangle) which is lined with tiles.
We build our freeform pools using concrete construction methods which allow the pool to be any shape, size or configuration required to fit the design.
Modern freeform pools often have rock/waterfall features and are commonly designed to have a more "natural" look and feel. It is popular to design freeform pools to resemble a natural pond, oasis or water hole.
What are the advantages of the freeform pool shape?
Some of the great benefits that come with building a freeform style swimming pool include:
- Aesthetics - Freeform pools have a more natural and organic look so they can blend into the landscape of your property. With the right plants and landscaping, a freeform swimming pool can feel more like paddling around a lush oasis.
- Customisation - You can choose the right mixture of beauty and functionality to suit your home.
- Flexibility - If you have a small or oddly shaped backyard, a freeform pool can be designed and constructed to best fit the available space.
- Features - Freeform pools can be built with a variety of extra features such as tanning ledges, rock bridges, islands, beach style entries & in-pool tables/chairs to make your pool truly one-of-a-kind.
- Exercise - Swimming is great exercise for the whole family.
Don't settle for a cookie cutter pool design, talk to the team at Burleigh Pools to see if a freeform pool is right choice for your lifestyle and budget.
Are free form pools more expensive to build than traditional shapes?
Generally, the answer is no but it depends on the size and scope of every project.
Freeform pools are usually similar in price to a rectangular shaped pool of a similar size.
You can discuss your pricing options with one of our expert pool consultants when visiting our showroom.
Are freeform pools in style?
Freeform pools are certainly in-style if you are going for a natural, rocky and more lagoon style experience.
If you have natural landscaping around your home then the freeform pool is the perfect addition.
Completely custom, unique pools are in fashion on the Gold Coast in QLD and the only limitations to a freeform pool design is your imagination and your budget.
