Infinity, Rooftop, Overflow & Water Features

Architectural pools make hydraulic behaviour visible. Edge level, structure, settlement, wind, surge, channel capacity and pump control determine whether the intended line remains precise.

Compose the waterline from the viewpoint

The designer fixes the primary viewing positions and aligns water level, edge, catch basin and distant horizon. The structural and hydraulic teams then coordinate tolerances, waterproofing, finish thickness and operating level to preserve that composition.

Calculate overflow and balance volume

Channels and balance tanks accept continuous overflow, bather displacement, feature drawdown, cleaning water and defined weather allowance. Operating, high and low levels are marked. Automatic make-up, overflow, alarms and pump protection follow the level-control schedule.

Engineer rooftop pools as building systems

• Operating, test and maintenance loads form part of structural design.
• Waterproofing and secondary containment protect occupied areas.
• Wind effects inform overflow, evaporation and guest comfort.
• Plant access and component replacement are resolved within the building.
• Noise and vibration isolation protect adjacent rooms.
• Drainage provides a controlled route independent of occupied spaces.

Separate visual and treatment flows

Infinity edges, waterfalls, sheets, jets and bubblers receive calculated feature circuits. Their flow, sound, landing point, wind response and control sequence are coordinated with the treatment circulation. Each effect can be isolated, drained and serviced.

Prove the finished line

Commissioning measures level across the complete edge, balances channel flow, tests tank control and observes the feature from every design viewpoint. Final valve positions and controller settings are recorded.
