Concept Design

Martin Aquatic’s Creative Studio ushers projects through the initial conceptual stage. As Aquatic Masterplanners, we place every amenity and element on site to ensure ideal operability and a positive guest experience, while helping the owner stay within budget.

Defining the Site

Initially, our creative studio guides the owners and project team through a process that defines the site layout and identifies the amenities in the development.

Through several design iterations, this phase can include the following tasks:

Research and trends in aquatics
Waterpark masterplanning
Attraction selection
Capacity modeling/ Bubble diagrams
Pathway design
Utility placeholders

Ensuring Constructability

Our engineering expertise ripples through this early design phase as we determine how conceptual plans will physically operate while also adhering to aquatic code requirements.

At the same time, our relationships with manufacturers and distributors offer owners early estimates to ensure their project stays on budget with equipment that can be delivered in the construction schedule.

As our concept design phase continues, these tasks can include:

Aquatic feature sizing
Waterslide path, colors, and effects
Fountain nozzle options
Equipment costing and budgeting
Procurement strategy
Initial code review

Envisioning the Project

As the site layout is finalized and the plan view transitions from simple line drawings to colored plans and finally computer-generated renderings, we provide clients with a fully realized concept.

This phase concludes with tasks including:
