Soake Pools Brings Its New Pool with a View to ASLA 2026

Landscape architects arriving at the ASLA 2026 Conference on Landscape Architecture will find a compact approach to outdoor water features at booth 1850. Soake Pools plans to showcase its precast concrete plunge pools, including a new model designed to give people more places to sit while keeping the surrounding landscape in view.

The company’s central argument is straightforward. A pool can become an architectural focal point without requiring a long and disruptive building process. Soake Pools manufactures its concrete shells in advance, finishes them with customizable tiled interiors and ships them for installation. According to the company, project lead times can be as short as four weeks.

A plunge pool prepared before it reaches the site

Soake Pools is bringing its precast concrete system to ASLA for professionals who regularly balance design intent, construction schedules and limited outdoor space. The company offers several pool sizes and interior tile options, allowing a designer to treat the pool as part of the landscape composition rather than as an isolated piece of equipment.

For a residential renovation, that can mean introducing water without allowing the pool installation to dominate the entire project schedule. For new construction, a precast model can be considered alongside grading, planting, hardscape and circulation from the beginning.

“Our main goal is to spend more time outside, less time in construction,” said Sasha Mulcahey, Director of Marketing at Soake Pools.

The statement captures the product’s intended appeal. The pool is meant to support the outdoor experience while reducing the amount of time a property remains under active construction. Designers visiting the booth can ask how the pool shell, tile, mechanical equipment, transportation and site preparation fit into a complete project timeline.

The Pool with a View puts seating at the center

The featured product at booth 1850 will be the company’s new Pool with a View. The approximately 7-by-13-foot model incorporates a long bench intended to maximize seating and help users face outward toward the surrounding landscape.

That orientation gives landscape professionals another way to think about pool placement. Instead of treating the pool only as a place to move through water, the bench allows it to function as a social space and a viewing platform within the yard.

“The Pool with a View adds more seating to take in breathtaking views, or simply sit with family and friends while entertaining,” Mulcahey said.

For designers, the most useful booth conversation may be about sight lines. The position of the bench, the approach to the pool and the relationship between the water and nearby planting can determine what users see once they sit down. A compact footprint does not remove those design questions. It makes each one more consequential.

Who should visit booth 1850

Soake Pools is inviting landscape architects, builders and designers working on residential renovations and new construction projects. The booth should be particularly relevant to professionals planning smaller outdoor environments, year-round gathering spaces or projects where an extended pool build would complicate the broader construction schedule.

Attendees may want to arrive with practical questions about access, crane placement, excavation, foundations, equipment locations and tile selection. Product dimensions are only one part of specifying a precast pool. Understanding what needs to happen before delivery can help a design team determine whether the system suits a particular site.

The company’s official plunge-pool information includes model dimensions, bench configurations and a three-dimensional pool builder that can support those early conversations.

Check + Stripe brings pattern into the water

Soake Pools will also discuss its recently introduced Check + Stripe design collection. The in-house tile collection uses checkerboard and stripe arrangements to make the interior finish a stronger part of the pool’s visual identity.

According to the company, the collection has attracted interest from designers around the country and encouraged them to approach pool design differently. The patterns can act as a focal point, connect the pool to nearby material choices or introduce a controlled graphic element into a softer planting composition.

The collection is another reason the booth may interest professionals who already understand the technical side of pool planning but want more expressive finish options. Visitors can use the conversation to compare pattern scale, color and how a tiled interior changes when viewed through water.
