ABOUT RIVIERA STUDIO
Uniting 3D hydraulic engineering, monolithic 4,500 PSI shotcrete construction, and master stone masonry under one roof since 2001.
OUR ARCHITECTURAL PHILOSOPHY
Founded by structural engineers and master stone masons, Riviera was created to eliminate the fragmented subcontractor model common in residential pool construction. By keeping 3D hydraulic CAD design, municipal setback permitting, steel-caged shotcrete placement, and imported stone decking 100% in-house, we deliver every commission with fixed-milestone accountability.
PROVEN TRACK RECORD
Every Riviera commission is engineered to commercial resort standards—delivering crystal-clear mineral water, whisper-quiet hydraulics, and timeless stone architecture.
Constructed across hillside grades, canyon lots, and private residential compounds.
Backed by 4,500 PSI steel-reinforced gunite and certified geotechnical soil reports.
Engineered with oversized Schedule-40 manifolds and Pentair variable-speed pumps.
Verified by custom home builders and estate owners across 12-to-16-week build cycles.
SIGNATURE CASE STUDY / PARADISE VALLEY, AZ
How we engineered a 52-foot three-sided negative-edge infinity pool, sunken travertine fire lounge, and cantilevered steel pavilion across a 14-degree granite hillside drop.
Completed in 14 weeks with zero municipal plan revisions – $340K Turnkey Scope.
25 YEARS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every Riviera vessel is built by our in-house team of PHTA-certified hydraulic engineers, ACI-certified shotcrete nozzlemen, and master stone masons. We never compromise on steel reinforcement schedules, pipe sizing, or quarried stone density—ensuring your backyard retreat remains structurally flawless for decades.

PARADISE VALLEY, AZ
“Riviera engineered a cantilevered infinity pool across a 14-foot granite drop that three other builders said was impossible. Every milestone hit the exact week promised.”
CUSTOM BUILDER PARTNER
“As an estate home builder, coordinating pool plumbing with house foundations is usually a bottleneck. Riviera’s CAD documentation and schedule adherence are unmatched.”
WESTLAKE HILLS, TX
“Their 3D night-lighting and drainage study solved elevation issues nobody else caught. Two years after handover, our Pentair smart automation runs effortlessly.”
SCOTTSDALE, AZ
“From our sunken swim-up bar to the motorized louvered pavilion and outdoor kitchen, Riviera handled every permit, gas line, and electrical run in-house.”
BRENTWOOD, CA
“The 3-inch cast acrylic viewing panel and board-formed concrete spa look like a piece of modern sculpture. The stonework crew mitered every travertine corner by hand.”
NAPLES, FL
“Zero surprise change orders from day one. We received weekly drone updates while out of state and returned to a crystal-clear mineral pool ready for our first swim.”
