Rooftop Pools & Water Features for Your Terrace
Thinking of a pool on your roof? It’s completely possible, but it starts with simple maths. One cubic foot of water weighs 27kg, and we ensure your building structure is ready for it before we sketch a single line.
A closer look at the infinity pool we designed for a Lonavala terrace, overlooking the hills. The rain curtain adds a dynamic visual and sensory element, while the surrounding planters and wood accents integrate the pool with the landscape design.
This render shows the initial concept for the Lonavala terrace pool. We envisioned a cascading waterfall as the backdrop, creating a serene and natural ambiance. This visual helps our clients see the full potential of their space before we begin construction.
This jacuzzi installation is a perfect example of creating a resort-like feel at home. We built a raised wooden deck and surrounded it with a vertical garden and soft lighting, designing a private corner for ultimate relaxation on the terrace.
For this project, we created an "Old World Oasis" with a classic lion head stone fountain as the centerpiece. The fountain is flanked by rustic stone walls and planters, creating a formal, elegant garden space perfect for quiet evenings.
This video shows the transition from day to night in our "Old World Oasis" project in Rohtak. Notice how the outdoor lighting highlights the classical fountain and stone walls, completely changing the mood and making the space usable after sunset.
Here, we've combined a water feature with a pergola structure. A modern water bowl sits beside a seating area enclosed by decorative laser-cut screens, showing how we integrate different elements like water, stone, and metal into a cohesive landscape design.
About Rooftop Pools & Water Features
We don't just build, we audit. Before any construction, we conduct a structural load analysis of your slab to ensure safety. Once the engineering is solid, we move to the fun part—waterproofing systems, drainage slopes, and aesthetic finishes that actually survive the elements.
Engineering Your Rooftop Oasis
Many clients come to us asking if they can add a pool or a waterfall to their terrace. The answer is almost always yes, but it requires a technical approach. Our process starts with a site audit where we assess the Load Bearing Capacity (LBC) of your slabs and columns. Because water is heavy—at 27kg per cubic foot—we have to ensure your building's skeleton can support the weight of a full pool, pumps, and water features.
The Technical Side of Water
Building a water feature is not just about the look. It is about preventing leaks, managing drainage, and ensuring the electrical safety of your lighting.
- Structural Load Analysis: This is non-negotiable. We verify your site conditions before we start.
- Advanced Waterproofing: We use industrial-grade membranes to ensure your terrace slab doesn't suffer from seepage.
- MEP Planning: We map out drainage slopes, plumbing points, and electrical conduits for pump rooms before we pour any concrete.
Custom Water Features
Whether you are looking for a compact jacuzzi setup, a cascading rain curtain, or a classic stone fountain like the one we installed in our Rohtak project, we tailor the design to your available space and lifestyle. From 'Old World' stone fountains to modern infinity-edge pools, our team handles the heavy civil work, cladding, and finishing details like non-slip granite and weather-resistant lighting.
Our Process
- Site Audit & Load Check: Determining what your roof can actually handle.
- Live Sketching: We work with you to plan the location of your water feature in relation to your seating zones and green areas.
- Installation: We handle the plumbing, electrical, and structural construction, ensuring minimal mess and maximum quality.
If you are ready to add a water feature to your rooftop garden, let's look at your site constraints first. Getting the engineering right early saves you significant cost and headache down the line.
