WHY PARTNER WITH US?

Without the technical knowledge of a hydrothermal specialist during the planning and design stages of your spa, it’s easy to make common mistakes that will ultimately cost the project both time and money. Enter Design for Leisure.

 

Working in collaboration with clients, we are able to make every unique spa vision a reality—all while ensuring the plans meet all technical requirements, building codes and regulations required when building for environments that are subject to extreme heat and water.
