The 2025 Masters of Design competition recognized three distinct pool projects for their architectural merit, highlighting a range of materials from translucent orbs to concrete renovations. The awards program, featured in Pool and Spa News, highlights projects across fiberglass, concrete, and spa categories. Concord Pools & Spas received an honor for a waterfront fiberglass creation, while Randy Angell Designs secured a slot among the recognized projects. Another finalist included Miami Tropical Retreat, which was chosen for the Masters of Design distinction.

Project Categories and Winners

The 2025 Masters of Design archives showcase a variety of project types, organized by material and feature. The list includes a “Waterfeatures” category featuring the Ethereal Orb Waterfeature, a translucent installation described as performing triple duty with a bold yet soft impact. Concrete projects dominated the list, with multiple entries from builders in the Dallas area and Miami. Pure Design earned recognition for a renovation, and Tipton Spires ranked among the winners in the concrete category.

Projects in the concrete category often emphasize architectural details, such as the Wright-inspired Pool Renovation that garnered attention. The high-tech pool entry by Cloonan Design combined modern technology with design elements. Meanwhile, the fiberglass category featured the waterfront design by Concord Pools & Spas.
