An infinity pool, sometimes called a negative edge pool, is a swimming pool that has been constructed with the illusion of extending all the way to the horizon. From the right perspective, the infinity pool seems to stretch on endlessly, and contractors often place the pool strategically so that it appears to merge with a larger body of water. The construction expertise required for an infinity pool is considerable. Although the basics of the pool are the same as those for a regular pool, the contractor must be especially careful at the “infinite” edge of the pool. The edge of the pool is actually below the water level, allowing water to sluice over it and into a trough that collects the water and circulates it back into the pool.

At 525 Lake Cove Pointe our pool is designed with a negative edge that has an overspill around the majority of the perimeter. Based upon how the owner prefers to clear the vegetation growth in the rear conservation area, while meetings code compliance, will ultimately determine how the pools site lines will merge into the landscape and lake.
