The shell is cast on site to fit your plot, and you choose the waterline: a skimmer pool, a brim-full overflow pool or an infinity edge that flows into the view. Form, steps and finish are drawn per project.

The key design decision in a concrete pool is how the water meets the edge. A skimmer pool is the most economical; an overflow pool makes the surface a mirror; an infinity edge links the water to the view.
For pools that don't fit standard sizes, need to blend with the architecture or will see heavy use. Overflow edges, built-in steps and special finishes can all be solved in one project.
After the site visit and measurements come the structural design, excavation, reinforcement and concrete. Then the pipework is pressure-tested, waterproofing and finish are applied and the plant room is installed.
The edge alone doesn't do it. Pool level, the viewing point, the overflow channel and the balance tank that collects the water all work together — so we start by measuring the view and the slope.
To be honest: Concrete pools can crack and leak over the years, and repairs mean breaking out and re-finishing, so they are expensive. A liner finish inside reduces the risk. On cost it comes after panel-liner, and the price rises with size.
Not with a good structural design, waterproofing and workmanship. Over the years, though, settling ground, cracks or tired waterproofing can cause leaks, and repairs mean breaking out and re-finishing, which is costly. To avoid that risk, choose a liner finish inside, a panel-liner pool or a container pool that is leak-tight for life.

Mosaic, tiles or a liner. We choose together based on looks, maintenance expectations and budget.
Yes. A concrete shell suits single- or multi-edge overflow systems; the balance tank and pipework are planned from the start.
In an overflow pool water spills into a channel on one or more edges. Infinity describes a spilling edge that faces the view and seems to merge with the horizon.
No. A slope strengthens the effect, but overflow systems work on flat plots too; for the infinity look the viewing angle matters.
