Architectural Blue, a special company
At Architectural Blue (AB), under the leadership of President and Founder J. Matthew Naylor, for the past twenty-eight years we have been designing and constructing spectacular waterscapes that rise to the level of fine sculpture and environmental art as well as enhance your property value at the same time.
Staying at the forefront of pool technology, design, and trends has helped Architectural Blue continue to grow, but our true strength is our unwavering dedication to our customers. We take great pride in overseeing every detail of your project and ensuring that every element is completed to the highest standard. Dedication to quality and our pride in customer service are the driving forces of our company
The evolution of design at AB has increasingly seen the addition of methods and materials from other design disciplines such as the Fine Arts, interior design, lighting, and architecture interpreted into a waterscape context. Now one of California’s leading residential waterscape designers, AB is expanding its expertise to commercial venues in Southern California as well.
Mr. Naylor, AB team and I, use the reflective quality of water and the beauty and texture of materials to enhance an overall setting. Rather than visually “forcing the pool” into a setting, our work elegantly enhances the architecture and surrounding environment in a dignified, and often, almost lyrical tone and quality – meaning the waterscape and architecture become visually intertwined.
AB has grown to comprise a team of waterscape designers, artisans, landscape designers, horticulturists, and in-house builders who work closely on each project to create highly individual, imaginative, and exciting environments that enhance your natural environment making your options limitless - pools, waterscapes, custom artwork, and landscaping can all be tailored to your own personal space and budget. We create more than just a waterscape, instead, we extend your identity into an inviting outdoor environment. To us, your project is much more than just a concrete shell.
Mr. Naylor and I supervise construction personally down to the finest details. Unrelenting perfectionists, we make no compromises in quality or artistry, basing his work on creativity that encompasses his educational background and his uncanny eye for color, scale, proportion, and detail. Each project is painstakingly engineered to meet the highest possible standards for hydraulic and structural integrity.
Here at AB, our core vision is to personalize the project experience for you, our customer, and create a finished outdoor environment of which you can be proud. We are as passionate about your space as you are. While still working within your budget, we will never compromise on the quality design, materials, or construction!
