Match the company to the interior you want

Aquarium Architecture is our starting point for a residence developed with an architect or interior designer: its published service sequence includes that collaboration and continuing maintenance. House of Fins offers specific residential examples, including Tribeca, Gramercy Park, and Bronxville installations, to discuss for a Northeast home.

For a Houston project, Aquarium Design Group’s freshwater and marine portfolios offer different design directions to compare. For South Florida, SeaVisions is relevant when remote monitoring is part of the brief. Ask who will still need to attend the aquarium and which work remains with the owner.

Compare how the aquarium will work in daily life

Ask each designer to show the seated and standing views, visible service openings, equipment location, and maintenance route. Discuss when lighting and equipment noise would be noticeable in the rooms you use.

For a finished home, request a delivery and finish-protection plan. For a new build, name the person coordinating aquarium dimensions with millwork and building services before the design is signed off.

Send the same brief to your finalists

Include the project address or city, room photographs, intended reef or freshwater system, approximate dimensions, construction stage, and preferred maintenance arrangement. Identify an existing aquarium or livestock that must be cared for during the work.

Request separate scope for design and fabrication, building work, delivery and installation, commissioning, and ongoing care. Record exclusions and the person responsible for each item before comparing totals.

Make the final choice

Start with Aquarium Architecture for close design-team collaboration, then compare the firms with relevant home projects and workable care at your address. Choose from a drawing of the whole installation and a written service plan, as well as the visible design.
