From concept to engineering to white-glove installation, we build living art ecosystems that are calm, architectural, and meticulously maintained. View some of our signature installations.
Experience the Difference Before its in Your Home.
A studio appointment is the fastest way to see what “luxury aquarium” actually means. Materials, lighting, cabinetry integration, reef movement, planted-scape depth, and the design details that make an aquarium feel like it belongs in the architecture (not sitting beside it).
In your appointment:
​
-
Explore your space, style, and goals (wellness, statement piece, reef or planted, built-in or stand-alone)
-
Review inspiration and placement options (living room feature wall, office, club lounge, kitchen sightline)
-
Outline what’s possible for custom aquarium installation and long-term care
-
Share a clear next step: site visit, concept design, or installation plan
A Kansas City Studio Built From Obsession-Level Craft
I’m Brian Blake, founder of Boodleshire Aquatics. What started as a hands-on service practice grew because clients kept asking for more than aquarium maintenance. They wanted a living centerpiece that felt intentional, premium, and professionally supported.
As demand grew, we expanded into a dedicated design and installation studio, complete with livestock holding facilites, so clients can experience reef and freshwater systems in person, compare options side-by-side, and make confident decisions before we ever step into the home.
Today, Boodleshire serves Kansas City area clients across KS and MO who value craftsmanship, discretion, and results that feel like part of the architecture.
