NATURAL POOLS AND SWIMMING PONDS FOR PUGLIA
Living Water. │ Bespoke Design. │ Naturally.
Your Pool. Naturally.
A natural pool combines contemporary design with biological water treatment inspired by nature, using ecosystem services.
Instead of conventional chemical disinfection, the water is treated through carefully designed biological and mechanical processes.
The result is living water — clear, natural and pleasant to swim in — combined with a pool individually designed around your architecture, landscape and lifestyle.

Living Water
Experience water in its natural state — biologically treated and free from conventional chemical disinfection.
Chlorine-Free
Natural pools use biological processes instead of traditional chlorine-based water treatment.
Completely non-biocidal: Devoid of chlorine, copper-based compounds, algicides or UV light.
Bespoke Design
Every pool is individually designed to complement the architecture, landscape and character of its surroundings.
Biodiversity
Natural water systems will become part of a living landscape and contribute to local biodiversity.

SELECTED PROJECTS IN ITALY
Based in Ibiza and now establishing our second base in Monopoli, Puglia, we bring our experience in biological swimming water directly to Southern Italy.
Founded in 2007, we specialise in designing and building biological pools and swimming ponds for Southern European climates. We have already successfully completed several projects in Italy.
Agroturisma Voeuja
Swimming Pond Torricella
Rooftop Pool Genova
Torricella Italia
Living water designed in harmony with architecture and landscape.
Our Torricella project demonstrates how biological water treatment can be combined with architecture and landscape to create a distinctive natural swimming environment.
TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE LIVING WATER
Natural Pool
Contemporary appearance, clear architectural lines and biological filtration.
Contemporary design. Natural water.
A natural pool can have the clean lines and sophisticated appearance of a contemporary swimming pool while using biological processes to maintain water quality.
The biological treatment system can be integrated discreetly, allowing the pool itself to remain architectural and minimalist.
We offer two different approaches: natural pools with plants and visible biodiversity for those who want a stronger connection with nature, or contemporary plant-free designs for those who prefer the appearance of a conventional swimming pool while keeping the biological water treatment largely invisible.
Ideal for:
Private villas
Contemporary residences
Masserie
Boutique hotels
Resorts
Agriturismi

Swimming Pond
More natural integration with vegetation, habitat value and landscape character.
Swimming in a living landscape.
In a swimming pond the bathing area is surrounded by regenerating areas with underwater plants and swamp plants at the edges and natural materials like rocks. It integrates perfectly in the surrounding nature and attracts immense biodiversity becoming itself a ‘step-stone-habitat’ for potentially endangered plants and animals.
Water, vegetation, stone and landscape become part of one living ecosystem.
It is the ideal solution for those who want more than a swimming pool — a natural waterscape that becomes part of the garden itself.
How Does It Work?
Nature does the work. We design the system.
01 Design → 02 Biology → 03 Biofiltration → 04 Nutrient Management → 05 Living Water
Unlike conventional pools, natural pools rely on biological and mechanical processes rather than chemical disinfection.
NATURAL POOLS DESIGNED FOR THE ITALIAN LANDSCAPE
Water. Architecture. Landscape.
Italy offers extraordinary opportunities to create spaces where architecture, water and landscape become one.
In Puglia, masserie, villas, trulli, olive groves, natural stone and Mediterranean gardens require solutions specifically designed for their surroundings.
We do not simply design a standard swimming pool.
We design a place for water.
Shape, materials, vegetation, biological filtration, architecture, sunlight and the way the pool will be used are considered as parts of one integrated project.
NATURAL POOLS IN PUGLIA
We develop natural pool and swimming pond projects for private residences, villas, masserie, boutique hotels and landscape projects in Puglia.
Every project is assessed individually according to its location, architecture, landscape, water management requirements and technical conditions.
Where appropriate, we collaborate with local architects, landscape professionals and contractors to develop the most suitable solution for each project.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. A true natural pool uses biological and mechanical processes for water treatment instead of conventional chemical disinfection with chlorine.
A correctly designed natural pool can achieve a high degree of water clarity. The result depends on the system, type of pool and appropriate biological management of nutrients.
Not necessarily. Natural pools can include planted regeneration areas, but contemporary systems can also use dedicated biological filtration while maintaining the appearance of a modern architectural swimming pool.
Yes. A natural pool does not have to look like a pond. It can feature geometric forms, contemporary materials, clean architectural lines and clear water.
Both use biological principles for water treatment. A natural pool generally has a more architectural appearance, while a swimming pond integrates vegetation and natural landscape characteristics more visibly.
Potentially, yes. This depends on the existing structure, available space and technical characteristics of the installation. Each situation needs to be assessed individually.
theBIOPOOL develops projects and collaborations internationally. For projects in Puglia, we assess the site, project requirements and appropriate cooperation with local professionals and contractors individually.
FOR ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, HOTELS & LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS
Let's design together.
Natural pools are most successful when water is considered from the beginning of the overall design process.
We collaborate with:
Architects
to integrate natural pools into the architectural concept from the earliest planning stages.
Landscape Architects and Builders
to develop water, vegetation and landscape as one coherent environment.
Hotels & Resorts
to create distinctive swimming environments that support a premium, nature-oriented guest experience.
Masserie & Agriturismi
to integrate natural bathing water into the character of the Mediterranean landscape.
Private Clients
to create individual pools designed around their home, garden and way of living.
Are you an architect or professional?
We are available to collaborate on the design and technical development of natural pools and biological water treatment systems.
