The Value & The Costs of
Swim-Up Bar
The Value
A swim-up bar is essentially a bar sunken down into the pool, allowing guests to enjoy refreshments at water level without ever having to leave the pool. This feature can be designed with submerged seating in the water, offering a cool respite on hot days, or with a dry, sunken area in the middle of the pool for those who prefer to stay dry. The value is immeasurable to homeowners in warm climates, especially those who frequently entertain or seek a resort-like atmosphere in their own yard. It transforms the pool area into a social hub, blending the luxury of a private escape with the convenience of personalized hospitality – creating a home that seems like a boutique hotel.
The Costs
Constructing swim-up bars in residential pools involves a detailed and specialized design process, requiring the expertise of landscape architects in addition to our architectural team to ensure seamless integration with the overall pool and garden design. The costs associated with adding a swim-up bar include additional design fees, which cover the creation of a carefully customized plan that complements the home’s aesthetic and meets safety requirements, as well as construction costs (which will vary widely depending on the complexity of the design, the materials chosen for the bar and seating areas, and any additional features like plumbing, refrigeration, or lighting.) While the investment in adding a swim-up bar to a pool design is significant, it adds a distinctive feature to the home that enhances both its value and the enjoyment of its outdoor spaces in hot climates or warm seasons.
