The infi­nity pool

Unique bathing expe­ri­ence

Lite­rally trans­lated, infi­nity pool means „endless swim­ming pool“. The special design of this pool creates an optical illu­sion: if you look above the surface of the water, the pool seems to float and go on endlessly. The infi­nity pool lite­rally merges with its surroun­dings. Such a pool achieves a parti­cu­larly beau­tiful effect with a view into the distance or in an elevated posi­tion. Whereas a few years ago infi­nity pools were only to be found in exclu­sive holiday resorts, these unique and elegant pools are now incre­asingly being built in private gardens.

This creates the endless effect

One or more edges of the pool are lowered so that the water seems to disap­pear into nothing­ness. With this special design, there is no visible boun­dary at these edges. In reality, however, the water flows over the lowered edge at this point and drains into an over­flow channel outside the pool.

Rela­xa­tion at the infi­nity pool

The infi­nity pool we desi­gned in this unusual setting, which borders an agri­cul­tural zone, vividly demons­trates the breath­ta­king floa­ting effect. If you take the plunge into the cool water, the infi­nity effect is imme­dia­tely visible and the fusion of the swim­ming pool and its surroun­dings is perfect. Behind the water surface is an extra­or­di­nary back­drop that offers a view over a lush meadow with fruit trees.

Bathing without chlo­rine

Blen­ding perfectly with its surroun­dings, trees and moun­tain back­drops seem to be just a swim away. This natu­ral­ness is also reflected in the water quality: the Living Pool tech­no­logy ensures clean water without any chemi­cals. The two-chamber filter system removes phos­phate from the water and thus the basis of life for algae. Thanks to the special tech­no­logy, the water is gentle on the skin and eyes without any chemi­cals.

Shim­me­ring water — it all depends on the pool basin

Swim­ming pools can be built using a variety of mate­rials — inclu­ding the infi­nity pool. In contrast to a regular pool, the over­flow channel replaces the skimmer. In addi­tion to the over­flow channel, an infi­nity pool requires a surge tank and more complex pipe­work. The exact cost of buil­ding an infi­nity pool can only be calcu­lated once all the compon­ents have been defined. There are nume­rous options for buil­ding your water garden exactly the way you want it.

Natural stone — robust and luxu­rious

Lining the swim­ming pool with natural stone is unique. The natural mate­rial is time­less and blends in with its surroun­dings. The water creates a natural effect that changes depen­ding on the sunlight and weather. Only natural stone can create a natural yet elegant ambi­ence. However, not just any natural stone is suitable for pool linings. However, the frequently used Andeer granite is an excel­lent option for a parti­cu­larly elegant appearance.

Porce­lain stone­ware — the alter­na­tive to natural stone

Porce­lain stone­ware tiles are available in a wide range and ther­e­fore offer an alter­na­tive to natural stone. They are often modelled on the look of natural stone and also offer a natural and luxu­rious effect. Porce­lain stone­ware slabs offer a parti­cular advan­tage in terms of format: the slabs can be offered in very large formats.

Stain­less steel — elegant and time­less

The infi­nity pool with a stain­less steel pool looks elegant and time­less and gives the water a unique shimmer. A stain­less steel pool can also be custo­mised with addi­tional features, such as a bubble bench.

Foil — diffe­rent colour effects

When buil­ding a swim­ming pool, a pool liner is often used. The special liner is available in diffe­rent shades of grey and thus creates diffe­rent colour effects: By using a grey liner, the water shim­mers in a beau­tiful and natural blue.
