Swimming pools designs : The Art of Water

The Art of Water

Widely heralded as the industry’s benchmark for design, construction and engineering practices, David Tisherman has achieved global recognition for the standards he sets in the watershaping industry. Based in Manhattan Beach, California, with a satellite office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (Liquid Design, LLC), Tisherman creates structurally correct swimming pools and spas that rise to the level of fine sculpture and environmental art.

Tisherman personally supervises all construction down to the finest details. An unrelenting perfectionist, he makes no compromises in quality or artistry, basing his work on creativity that encompasses his extensive 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.

Tisherman uses 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, his work elegantly enhances the architecture and environment in a dignified, and often, almost lyrical tone and quality.

The Robb Report called him the “Most influential designer and builder of the past two decades,” and his work has appeared on the covers of Architectural Digest, The Robb Report, Dream Houses and Luxury Pools.

He has undergraduate degrees in history and three-dimensional design from California State University, Northridge. With graduate work from the Pasadena Art Center College of Design in California, and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, he has taught architectural rendering and presentation at UCLA. Recently, he was asked to teach Design and Construction of Residential Water Features in the department of landscape architecture at UCLA. A founder of the Genesis Design Group, Tisherman has personally educated many of the elite pool designers and builders in the industry.
