I heard that London is going to build the world’s first 360-degree infinity swimming pool. Are you looking forward to it?
This pool will be made of clear cast acrylic glass, transmitting similar wavelengths of light into the water so the pool appears very clear. The walls and floor of the swimming pool are also transparent, allowing visitors to see the swimmers and the sky above, take in the surrounding scenery, and look down into the interior of the hotel.
According to the pool’s designers, the solution for the pool entrance is based on submarine technology, coupled with a rotating spiral staircase that rises from the pool floor when someone wants to enter or exit. Therefore, the way to enter the pool will be exciting and reminiscent of "Agent 007". The swimming pool will also be equipped with colorful neon lights, which will present a shining colorful gemstone appearance at night and become an urban landscape at night.
How is the unique charm of the infinity pool in the sky designed? Let the editor take you to see some of the exquisitely designed sky swimming pools in the world!
The unique design of the infinity pool
The infinity pool (infinity pool) originally means a swimming pool with unlimited space. It is a swimming pool with no border visual effect, which achieves the integration of the swimming pool and the scenery, and the swimming pool achieves a unique visual effect. To put it simply, through the special design of the edge of the swimming pool, the swimming pool looks like there is no edge or wall, thereby achieving the visual effect of infinite space and creating a casual and quiet atmosphere. At present, infinity swimming pools are mostly found in tourist resorts in tropical cities.
The infinity swimming pool is not really edgeless. In fact, there is a water edge on the outermost side of the swimming pool, which is the real "edge" of the swimming pool. According to the angle of people's sight, lower this edge and hide it quietly behind it. Whether you are standing by the pool or looking down at it from a distance, you will not be able to see it. The pool wall design of an infinity pool is usually sloped toward the outside of the pool. This treatment method can truly hide the pool wall. This approach requires designers to have a superhuman sense of art and combine it with the surrounding environment to create a perfect borderless effect.
Infinity swimming pool design principles
In addition, the location of the infinity swimming pool is also very important. It is best to be located next to a large water body. This can create the effect of the pool water flowing into the water body, which makes people feel spectacular. For example, if a swimming pool is built from the land to the ocean, there is a water collection and filtration system below the swimming pool, and the overflowing water is continuously treated and reinjected back into the swimming pool. When viewed from the shore, the swimming pool and the ocean are integrated into one. Effect.

The swimming pool built on the roof looks as spectacular as the water extending to the horizon. You can swim while overlooking the beautiful city scenery of Singapore.
swimming pool is designed with a special water circulation system. The swimming pool is like a clear spring on the edge of the cliff, and the "spring" gradually spreads to the horizon. Where "water and sky meet", there seems to be a waterfall flowing down. But in fact, after the water overflows the boundary of the swimming pool, it does not hit the ground directly, but flows into the collection pool not far below, is filtered and then re-entered into the swimming pool. The swimming pool has two circulation systems. The first system is no different from an ordinary swimming pool and is used to filter and heat the water in the swimming pool; the second system is used to filter the water in the collection tank and then transfer it back to the swimming pool. The safety protection design of
swimming pool is also unique. At first glance, the swimming pool seems to be floating in the air with no boundaries. People swimming in it seem to fall from a height of 200 meters if they are not careful. In addition to the protective wall, there is also a passage for people to pass around the edge of the entire swimming pool.
