AEON Design is a luxury outdoor living design studio. We create photoreal 3D renderings and construction blueprint plans of your future outdoor space: pool, spa, kitchen, landscaping, and more, before any construction begins. You see exactly what you're building before a single dollar goes to a contractor.

No. We deliver photoreal 3D renderings and rendering videos on our Concept Design package, and master blueprint plans on our Full Package. Once you love the design, we can refer our collaborated certified installers, experienced teams with a track record of delivering exceptional results for our clients, or you're welcome to select a contractor on your own.

We're based in Irvine, California and serve clients across the entire United States and Canada. Our design process is fully remote, handled via call, email, and our design portal. For clients in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, we can send a designer to visit your property in person.

No. AEON Design (aeonpooldesign.com) is an independently owned and operated business based in Irvine, California, USA. We are not a subsidiary, sister company, or franchise of AEON Pools, AEON Group, or any other business operating outside the United States that shares a similar name.

For clients in the LA, Orange County, and San Diego area, yes, we offer in-person site visits as part of the design process. For all other locations nationwide, our remote process is just as thorough: we work from your site measurements, photos, and a detailed intake call to deliver the same quality outcome.

There are three steps, and where you stop depends on your package. (1) Discovery Call: a free call or Google Meet/Zoom conversation where we learn your vision, goals, budget, and project requirements, no cost, no obligation. (2) Proposal & Agreement: once you're ready, we send the design agreement. After it's signed and the deposit is received, we begin, scheduling a site visit if you're local, or coordinating a property survey if you're out of state. (3) Concept Design: our designers bring your ideas to life in full photoreal 3D, with revisions until you're happy. If you chose Concept Design, this is your final deliverable. If you chose the Full Package, we continue into a fourth step: Blueprints & Permit-Ready Plans, where we prepare the complete construction-ready landscape plan and permit-ready drawings.

Just your property address, a basic sense of what you want (pool, kitchen, landscaping, etc.), and your approximate budget. We'll handle measurements, site analysis, and the rest. If you have existing plans or HOA documents, those help speed things up.

Both packages include up to 3 free rounds of design revisions, giving you room to fine-tune materials, layout, and finishes. Additional revisions beyond the first 3 are $300 each.

On Concept Design, you receive a full set of photoreal 3D renderings from multiple angles, a cinematic 3D rendering video, and a detailed design board with material specifications, ready to take to any contractor. On the Full Package, you also receive a master landscaping plan and master blueprint plans, prepared to move through permit review.

Minor adjustments after final delivery may incur a small fee depending on scope. Significant redesigns are treated as a new project stage. We try to get everything locked in during the Landscape Plan step so you're never surprised.

We offer two packages. Concept Design starts at $2,000: our creative direction, delivered as photoreal renderings you can take to any contractor. Full Package starts at $5,000: everything in Concept Design, plus construction-ready blueprints and permit-ready plans. Already did Concept Design with us? That $2,000 is fully credited toward the Full Package if you upgrade. Exact scope is confirmed on your consultation call.

Concept Design includes complete custom conceptual design, up to 40 photoreal 3D renderings, a cinematic 3D rendering video, and material & finish recommendations. Full Package includes everything in Concept Design, plus a custom construction-ready general landscape plan, master blueprint plans, and HOA/permit submittal coordination (when applicable). Up to 3 free rounds of design revisions are included in both.

Structural engineering plans and structural calculation fees are not included in either package. We refer you to our collaborated structural engineers and coordinate on your behalf, but their fees are billed separately. City permit fees, HOA review fees, and third-party survey/site documentation fees are also billed separately, in addition to your design package.

It depends on the scope of the property and vision. Share your project in the inquiry form and we'll let you know if it's a fit on your discovery call.

Concept Design typically takes 1–1.5 weeks, depending on revisions. For the Full Package's blueprint and permit-ready phase, timeline depends on HOA and municipal review, so we'll walk you through what to expect on your discovery call.

Yes. We structure payments in milestones: a deposit to begin, a payment at the design concept stage, and (on the Full Package) a final payment at blueprint delivery. Specifics are confirmed in your project agreement.

Photoreal. Our renderings are indistinguishable from photography of a completed project. You see exact materials, lighting at different times of day, water effects, landscaping, and shadows, all rendered to match your actual property's dimensions and orientation.

Yes. Every project includes multiple rendered views, typically overhead, eye-level, and detail shots of key areas like the pool edge, kitchen, or fire feature. We can also produce additional angles on request.

Very close. The dimensions, layout, and materials are all specified to match. Small variations can occur during construction depending on contractor execution and material availability, but a good builder will deliver a result that matches what you approved.

Not at all. You're always free to select a contractor on your own, and we fully support that. That said, we do collaborate with certified installers who have extensive experience delivering exceptional results for our clients, and we're happy to make a referral if you'd like one.

Yes. Our construction-ready plans are formatted for licensed contractors and include all the information they need: dimensions, material specs, elevations, and notes. If your contractor has technical questions, our team is available to clarify.

No. Our scope ends at design delivery (renderings on Concept Design, or blueprints on the Full Package). As SoCal-based designers who work closely with local contractors, we understand construction budgets deeply. Our designs are built with real-world costs in mind, and we work with you to get the design you want within a budget that makes sense.

Fill out the design inquiry form and we'll follow up within 24 hours with full project details and next steps to reserve your design slot.

No. Your discovery call is completely free, no cost, no obligation. Once you're ready to move forward, we send over the design agreement, and the deposit is only collected after that contract is signed, before we begin the design work.

We schedule a free discovery call, by phone or Google Meet/Zoom, to learn about your property, what you want to create, your timeline, and your budget. By the end, you'll have a clear sense of what your project with AEON looks like.
