Design-build pool studio, Napa Valley
Water, drawn
Scroll
We treat a pool the way an architect treats a room: proportion first, plumbing after. The site tells us where the water goes, not a catalog page. Every edge gets drawn twice before a single stone gets cut.
A small studio, based in Napa Valley,
led by builders who still show up
to the site every day.
Making the opportunity of a site
into a way of living
found nowhere else.
Built into a ridgeline above the valley, the pool runs level with the horizon so the water reads as a continuation of the view, not an interruption of it.

Palisade imagines pools that connect us to what elevates us. The beauty we build isn't detached from feeling — it's spectacular when it needs to be, never showy, and it reads as something rare, made for the people living with it.
Here is where our ideas begin,
shaped by the land and the
quiet of the water.
The site isn't a limitation. It's a set of possibilities worth building toward.
The grandest ideas find their true scale in restraint, and in the surprises restraint reveals.
Materials that speak with their surroundings. Views too wide to take in at once. Sunlit swims that play out in panorama.
