MAZACURE answer

When water meets the deck, the smallest line controls the largest visual effect. A MAZACURE visual study of architecture, hydraulics and experience.

The Architectural Idea

A deck-level overflow pool replaces the conventional lowered waterline with a surface that appears flush with the surrounding floor. The edge detail, channel expression, paving coordination and displaced-water system create the architectural calm.

Design Principles

  • Decide whether the overflow channel must disappear as a slot or remain visible as a grille.
  • Align paving joints, pool geometry and channel terminations from one setting-out logic.
  • Review surface reflection from the house and principal terrace viewpoints.
  • Coordinate displaced-water capacity and the balance-tank concept with hydraulic design.
  • Slope surrounding decks toward the drainage system defined by the governing requirements.
