The Pool Master

The Pool Master

Anthony Archer-Wills is the Pete Nelson of pool design. Nelson stars in Animal Planet's popular "Treehouse Masters," creating hideaways in the limbs of oaks and maples. Archer-Wills works on the ground as a world-renowned builder of swimming pools but uses the same creativity and respect for ecology. In "The Pool Master," the charming Brit has unfaltering enthusiasm for his work -- rivaled only by his love of a cool gin and tonic. He designs and executes unique and stunning pools that seem to be formed by nature. His goal is "to support the environment, provide homes to beds of aquatic plants, and foster elements of mystery," which enhance the experience of swimming.
