Infinite pool practice?

As the most dazzling star in modern architectural design, the infinity pool is widely used in leisure hotels, private villas and high-end clubs because of its unrepeatable charm. The appearance of infinite swimming pool has changed the application mode and concept of traditional swimming pool. It is no longer just a carrier for people to swim, but also creates a leisure and quiet atmosphere.

1. design points of infinite pool

1. 1

The most critical step in the design of infinite swimming pool is to reduce the height of one or more sides of the pool wall so that the pool water can flow out along the pool wall.

At present, there are two types of pond wall design: the pond edge inclines into the pond; The pool inclines outward along the edge. Either way, you can create a borderless effect.

In fact, the wall of a real infinite swimming pool is inclined to the outside of the pool, so that the wall can be really hidden. However, this approach requires designers to have a superhuman sense of art and combine with the surrounding environment to create a perfect and boundless effect.

1.2 what are the requirements for the construction of an infinite pool?

It is found that the geographical location greatly limits the way to establish an infinite pool. Therefore, the choice of geographical location is generally in the first place.

The location of the infinite pool is best located next to a large water body, which can create the effect that the pool water flows into the water body.

For example, from land to sea, there is a water collection and filtration system under the swimming pool, and the spilled water is continuously treated and re-injected into the swimming pool. From the nearshore, it creates a visual effect that the swimming pool and the ocean are integrated.

1.3 special construction method and advantages of infinite pool

In the case that the geographical conditions are not ideal, if you want to create infinite effects, you need the designer's unique creativity and skillful skills, and the design is reasonable, which can achieve very beautiful visual effects.

2. Landscape elements of infinite swimming pool

In the favorable weather and geographical conditions, the prototype of the borderless swimming pool has basically taken shape, but to achieve perfect landscape effect, many help elements need to be combined with it to exert its infinite charm. Such as: the design of the surrounding landscape, the choice of materials, the coordination of lighting, etc.

2. 1 Landscape construction of surrounding environment?

A swimming pool does not exist in isolation, it is closely related to the surrounding environment. No matter what style, the space around the swimming pool should be designed with its own characteristics as needed. From the perspective of landscape, the selected materials and shapes, including the platform and greening plants around the pool, need to show the overall style and function.

2.2 Modeling design and material application of infinite pool

In addition to the above-mentioned design elements, the modeling design of the swimming pool and the use of materials are also very important. Suitable materials can make the finishing touch and add icing on the cake.

In fact, there is no specific qualitative design, and now the common types are: rectangle, square, circle, semicircle, star, irregular shape and so on. No matter what type, it can create unlimited effects. What kind of shape to choose must be combined with the site conditions and the designer's concept. uneven

Shapes can create different landscape effects.

The choice of materials greatly affects the style of swimming pool, which is the most important part of swimming pool landscape construction. Material selection of swimming pool area, including pool wall, pool bottom, roof stone and surrounding platforms, etc. At present, the most commonly used waterproof decorative film for swimming pools is the pool wall, which is reasonable in price and excellent in effect. What about the swimming pool

There are quite a few paving options for exterior walls and platforms, which can be matched according to the building and surrounding environment. Nowadays, natural stone is the most widely used, easy to maintain and can create a feeling of natural leisure, so it has become the first choice for many designers.

No matter which material is chosen, it should be in harmony with the surrounding environment.

3. Infinite pool construction scheme

Whether the expression of construction drawing can truly reflect the designer's intention is the most important thing in the process of building an infinite pool. From the following three construction methods, we can understand the advantages and disadvantages of different methods.

Option 1:

The construction drawings of modern infinity swimming pool walls are often seen, and most of them adopt the specific scheme of work or the specific scheme of a certain problem. This method must use a water circulation system with a receiving basin, which often leads to unsatisfactory water flow due to the limitation of conditions. If a large flow of water is needed to meet the landscape requirements, it is necessary to build a large return pond, which will increase the construction cost and operation and maintenance cost, but this scheme can play a very good role in special environments (such as coasts and cliffs).

In this scheme, the wall of the falling water tank has a certain inclination to better meet the requirements of falling water effect. Sometimes, in order to be concise and generous, in many cases, it is not tilted and will not have a strong drowning effect. This practice is often used in situations where there is no need for landscape drowning, such as facing the sea and falling into the water on cliffs.

Option 2:

This scheme is optimized on the basis of the first scheme. In this way, the overboard system is made into two independent systems. One is the drowning system used in swimming pool, which can satisfy the drowning effect with a small sink; However, in the landscape that needs a lot of drowning, another independent system is adopted, which is separated from the swimming pool. Therefore, when creating the drowning effect, it can achieve good results without a large sink, and it can be combined with the system to form a borderless effect. However, there is also a disadvantage, that is, the plane size of the pool wall at the falling surface of the swimming pool is relatively large and the structure is slightly complicated, which is difficult for those venues with size requirements. But this design can meet the landscape effect from all angles and is suitable for any occasion.

The infinity pool on the famous Sands Hotel in Singapore is 650 feet (198 meters) high, making it the largest outdoor pool in the world. The swimming pool is like a clear spring on the edge of a cliff, and the "spring water" gradually spreads to the horizon. Where the water meets the sky, there seems to be a waterfall flying down. But in fact, after the water overflows the boundary of the swimming pool, it doesn't directly hit the ground, but flows into the catchment not far below, and then re-enters the swimming pool after being filtered.

The swimming pool has two sets of circulation systems. The first set, like the ordinary swimming pool, is used to filter the water that heats the swimming pool; The second system is used to filter the water in the sewage pit and then transport it back to the swimming pool.

Option 3:

Relatively rare cases are not widely used in practice. This method, in addition to the shortcomings of the first scheme, assumes that the decorative materials and inclination of the pool wall are not handled well, and it is easy to see the pool edge on the pool platform, which affects the overall landscape effect. The inner wall of the swimming pool has a certain degree of curvature, which is even less ideal and modern when the swimming pool is not full of water. Moreover, the cover stone must be built according to the shape, which increases the construction difficulty and processing cost, and the inner wall is arc-shaped, which also limits the paving materials and causes material restrictions.

Moreover, the borderless swimming pool often needs a good water circulation system to work together in order to maximize its borderless effect.
