Kidney
The free-form classic — a pool that looks grown, not built
The kidney is the archetypal free-form pool: one flowing bean-shaped curve with a waist that invites planting, a boulder or a slide. It blends into naturalistic landscapes better than any straight-walled shape and makes small gardens feel bigger because the eye never finds a hard boundary.
- Naturalistic and tropical gardens
- Landscape-led designs
- Retro mid-century looks
Strengths

- The waist creates two natural zones
- No corners: excellent circulation

Trade-offs
- No straight swim lane
- Curved formwork and coping raise build cost
- Rectangular covers don't fit — custom only
