A Look Beneath the Surface at the Historic Venetian Pool

Thank you for joining us for the Venetian Pool Hard Hat Tour!

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out, and to our partners at @castocreative and @islamoradapools for helping make this event such a success.

Over 20 architects joined us for a behind-the-scenes look at the Venetian Pool’s extensive remodel, which included:

A re-poured and reinforced pool base for added strength and stability.

A modernized pump system with new fill pumps, bypasses, drains, and pressure release valves.

Islamorada’s waterproofing system, a 10-year antimicrobial coating that prevents leakage and supports long-term maintenance.

Structural and aesthetic restorations that bring the historic pool back to life while preserving its timeless character.

We were thrilled to share this experience with such an engaged group of design professionals.

Your participation continues to strengthen the connection between architecture, materials, and craftsmanship in our community.

Thank you again for spending the afternoon with us; we look forward to seeing you at future tours and AIA educational events!
