At Parrot Bay Pools & Spas, we believe that exceptional outdoor spaces don’t happen by accident—they are thoughtfully designed, expertly engineered, and inspired by the very best in the industry. That’s why we’re proud to share that Shaun Braddy has officially completed the Genesis D265 Master Design Class in Napa, California, studying under world-renowned instructor Kurt Bianchi.
This achievement represents more than just continuing education—it’s a commitment to bringing next-level design, innovation, and luxury to every Parrot Bay project.
What Is the Genesis D265 Master Design Class?
The Genesis program is widely recognized as the gold standard in pool and outdoor living design education. The D265 Master Design course is one of its most advanced offerings, focused on:
- High-end residential design principles
- Advanced spatial planning and layout
- Integration of pools with architecture and landscape
- Artistic composition, balance, and flow
- Elevating outdoor spaces into true lifestyle environments
This isn’t just about building pools—it’s about designing complete backyard experiences.
Learning from the Best: Kurt Bianchi
Studying under Kirk Bianchi means learning from one of the most respected designers in the industry. Known for his ability to blend architecture, nature, and water, Kurt teaches designers how to think beyond standard layouts and instead create spaces that feel:
- Intentional
- Harmonious
- Timeless
Shaun’s time in Napa was hands-on, immersive, and focused on refining the art of designing with purpose.
