What is an infinity pool?
To best explain an infinity swimming
pool,
imagine a waterfall. The water flows from a height, and then seems to disappear,
right? In actuality, the water flows to a lower
level, and overflows as the volume increases.
The mechanism of an infinity pool is similar. The pool is built a level lower than the
original level. This acts as a catchment for the pool, and the water is pushed
upward, creating an optical illusion for a pool, which flows over the edge.
Infinity pools can
come by many different names. They’re also commonly known as vanishing
edge, zero edge or negative edge pools, among other terms.
Rewind
History claims that, the origin of infinity pool was in France in
Versailles, around 17th century. In the US, John Lautner, an architect, has
often been given the credit as one of the firsts to come up with an infinity
pool design in the early 1960s.
Is background important?
Background is important to create a proper optical illusion, which won't
happen if the catch basin is too large, the background landscape is too close
or there isn't much of a drop off. To create a proper effect, it is important
to align the submerged edge with the right background.
Are infinity pools
dangerous?
As daunting as it might seem in the beginning about falling
into a chasm, infinity pools are not dangerous in nature. There is a basin a
few feet below zero edge to catch the water. Infinity pools are just an optical
illusion.
