The
infinity edge pool is a model that creates the illusion that the water extends to the horizon. Super sophisticated, this is a technique widely used in spaces with a view, as it provides a feeling of spaciousness and blends the internal projects of the balcony with the exterior.
How does an infinity edge pool work?

This happens due to the specific design, where the water overflows from one of the edges and is drained into a hidden channel, creating a stunning visual effect. This style is often used in
beach houses, in the countryside or interior, that have a
view of natural landscapes, such as mountains, seas, or areas with breathtaking views.

One of the main advantages of the infinity edge pool is the unique visual effect it provides. By eliminating one of the edges, the pool integrates with the surrounding landscape, creating the
sensation of continuity between the water and the sky or the sea. This transforms the pool into a true work of architectural art, ideal for those seeking a
sophisticated and modern design in their leisure projects.
Benefits go beyond aesthetics

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the infinity edge pool also has a more efficient water circulation. The overflowing water is collected and
recirculated, which helps keep the pool cleaner and reduces algae formation.
The infinity edge system, being carefully designed, also
minimizes the accumulation of leaves or dirt, offering less maintenance work for the owners.

However, it is worth noting that the design of an infinity edge pool requires a greater investment due to the complexity of the construction. Careful structural planning is necessary, in addition to
efficient drainage systems and pumps to ensure proper functioning. The model is also more suitable for
sloped terrains, as the visual effect depends on the height difference between the pool and the surroundings.
