After the garden redesign, this private garden looks like a floating water garden thanks to the infinity pool. From there, the view sweeps over the beautiful green landscape with fruit trees all the way to the lake.
This extensive garden borders a green meadow directly on the lake. However, there is no direct access to the lake. The element of water therefore became the central theme in the garden. As the garden is located above an underground car park, the design of the desired living pool had to be elevated. The payload could not be exceeded. At the same time, the infinity pool had to blend in harmoniously with its surroundings.
Raised wooden deck with infinity pool
From the seating area, you can enjoy the wonderful view of the manicured lawn, the newly created level and the lake. The newly created level has become a design highlight. It is not only the dreamlike infinity pool that is a delight, but also the lounge directly in front of it. The new sunbathing and seating areas are the perfect complement to the Living Pool on the wooden deck. After a refreshing swim in the hotel’s own infinity pool, customers can either soak up the sun on the lawn or enjoy the shade under the parasol in the lounge.
This water garden stands out from the surrounding sea of flowers thanks to the colourful and varied planting concept. The elevated position has many advantages. On the one hand, it opens up a new view of the green landscape and the lake. On the other hand, the placement of the plants creates various visual relationships that make the garden appear open. The wood, the fragrant lavender, the maple and the bright blue water create exciting colour contrasts that have a harmonious effect on the overall picture. The outdoor living room is acoustically emphasised by the splashing of the pool’s overflow channel.
The view into infinity
The infinity pool deceives the eye of the beholder, as the entire elevation looks like a floating water garden. While swimming, customers can enjoy an uninterrupted view into the distance towards the front, directly in the direction of the green landscape with the neighbouring lake. This endless effect is achieved with the front overflow edge, which is slightly lower than the pool. The naturally purified water therefore runs over the front edge of the pool and down into the channel, creating the endless effect. Such an overflow edge can be installed in our show garden — the Gartenvilla in the Aathal — can be visited.
The customers wanted a chlorine-free pool right from the start. That’s why they opted for the Living Pool technology which does not require any chemicals. The water is purified with a filter system in which the phosphate, which is vital for algae, is removed with a filter, keeping it purely natural. It is also a sustainable option, as the water does not need to be replaced annually as with a conventional pool. This not only protects the skin, but also the environment.
Realisation: How the pool was brought into the garden
The prefabricated pool was moved into the garden with a crane. Many thanks egli jona for the realisation of the project.
Versatile planting concept
The wooden deck was fitted with three maples, which look beautiful at night. illuminated can be used. They also provide privacy. In addition, many different plants adorn the infinity pool, such as lavender or the red coneflower. The infinity pool therefore not only looks like a floating water garden, but also rises out of a veritable sea of flowers. Individual plants have been planted in exclusive planters. Customers have opted for the high-quality containers from Studio Vierkant which are available from our partner Amadeo Ambiente are available.

I wasn’t sure if something like this was possible with a crane. But thanks for the contribution! I will look into a crane company to help me here.
Great, we were able to help. Yes, moving the pool is usually done with a crane. If the terrain is difficult to access for large-scale transport and the location of the pool is difficult to reach, a helicopter has also been used.
