The color palette and simplicity of this grated perimeter overflow front-yard lap pool leads the viewer to gaze on the reflections of the residence. The pool acts as a visual direction indicator and supporting member of the cast, enhancing the entire site and environment. Photo courtesy of Costea Photography
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 swimming pools and spas that rise to the level of fine sculpture and architectural art.
Tisherman closely 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 and proportion. 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 at 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. Tisherman is one of the three founders and a principal instructor of the Genesis 3 Design Group and its schools, and is chairman of the Society of Watershape Designers.
