We Design and Build Cohesive Outdoor Environments
Mizu by Orion represents a water-centric design philosophy. We compose environments where water, stone, fire, and organic elements converge into a single, intentional composition.

Bo Pennington
Mizu was born from a simple conviction: outdoor spaces should feel as intentional as the architecture they surround. Bo Pennington founded Mizu by Orion to bridge the gap between construction and composition—building environments, not just amenities.
With a background spanning design, construction, and real estate development, Bo approaches each project as a complete ecosystem. Water, stone, fire, vegetation, and light are not separate elements—they are instruments in a single composition.
"I don't build pools. I build the places where life happens—where mornings feel different, where gatherings become rituals, where the boundary between inside and outside disappears."
— Bo Pennington, Founder
Regional Execution, Global Reach

On-Site Environments
Full architectural and build services
Where antebellum grandeur meets Gulf horizons. Historic estates along Beach Boulevard, secluded back bay retreats on St. Louis Bay and Biloxi Bay, live oaks draped in Spanish moss—the coast offers rare diversity for those seeking both waterfront drama and intimate seclusion. We serve discerning homeowners building private sanctuaries, from beachfront compounds to hidden bayou estates.
For the region's world-class gaming resorts, we bring the same design philosophy to hospitality environments—transforming pool decks into immersive escapes where guests step into a different world entirely, not just another amenity.
The refined residential heart of Greater New Orleans. French Creole influences blend with mid-century modern estates, where mature magnolias and subtropical gardens frame properties designed for year-round outdoor living.
The Emerald Coast's most coveted stretch—from Rosemary Beach to Alys Beach. Sugar-white sands, emerald waters, and New Urbanist architecture create a rare intersection of coastal beauty and design-forward communities.
Central Florida's landscape of championship golf courses, lakefront estates, and resort-caliber properties. A climate that invites year-round outdoor living, surrounded by natural springs and subtropical wilderness.
Hill Country limestone, spring-fed swimming holes, and a culture of creative independence. Modern ranches and contemporary estates perched above Lake Travis demand environments as bold as the landscape itself.
