Lake Claire Pool

Gentle Works partnered with our friends at Canvas Companies to reimagine the Lake Claire Pool, a beloved private swim club at the heart of Atlanta's Lake Claire neighborhood. Together, we sought to create a neighborhood oasis where children learn to swim, families gather, friendships deepen, and generations of summer memories are made. Color, pattern, and playful graphics establish a joyful visual language throughout the project. Striped tile walls, polka-dot floors, hand-painted murals, and vintage-inspired signage celebrate the timeless optimism of neighborhood pool culture, creating an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and unmistakably fresh. Developed in collaboration with The Loss Prevention and Office Hours, the murals and signage weave a distinct graphic identity throughout the club while reinforcing its playful character.
