Infinity-edge pools: design ambition and practical questions

An infinity edge is a technical and spatial choice, not merely a tile detail. Its suitability depends on the site, structure, water system and the relationship to surrounding levels. Ask the pool designer to explain the complete proposed arrangement and the access it requires.

Consider views from the house, terrace and lower parts of the garden. Discuss sound, cleaning, plant space and maintenance alongside the visual effect. For an existing pool, first establish whether adaptation is appropriate. A concept image is a starting point for discussion, not evidence that the same solution fits every plot.

Three decisions to get right

  • Obtain a site-specific design for the overflow arrangement.
  • Coordinate water collection, plant space and maintenance access.
  • Review the view from inside the home as well as outside.
