As award-winning infinity pool builders and negative edge pool builders in Melbourne, Laguna specialises in bespoke concrete pools that blur the boundaries between water, architecture and landscape. Only possible through a custom concrete build, an infinity or negative edge pool cannot be created within a standard fibreglass shell.
When thoughtfully designed, the disappearing edge allows water to extend beyond its boundary, visually connecting the pool to the surrounding landscape. The effect appears effortless, yet it relies on precise levelling, advanced hydraulics and skilled construction.
More than a feature, it shapes how the pool is experienced from within the water and from the home beyond, becoming a defining element of the outdoor environment.
Explore Laguna’s premium, award-winning custom infinity pool projects across Melbourne, Bayside, the Mornington Peninsula and Regional Victoria, including our 8x 2025 Gold SPASA Award-winning Clifton Hill project and 2025 SPASA Gold Award-winning indoor pool in Toorak with negative edge.
With striking examples of refined concrete design, discover the endless possibilities for resort-style living today.
An infinity edge pool is designed to create the illusion that the water extends beyond its physical boundary, often appearing to merge with the horizon or surrounding landscape. Water flows over one or more edges into a concealed trough before being carefully recirculated, maintaining a continuous and controlled water level.
While particularly striking on elevated properties and sites with expansive views, infinity edges can also be designed to face the home, creating beautiful reflections and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. This approach is beautifully executed in one of Laguna’s Hampton projects, where carefully aligned infinity edges connect the pool and spa to create a cohesive architectural feature.
A negative edge pool uses the same fundamental engineering principle as an infinity pool, with water flowing over a precisely levelled edge into a concealed catchment system. While the terms are often used interchangeably, ‘negative edge’ typically refers to the construction technique, while ‘infinity edge’ describes the visual effect.
Negative edge construction allows for seamless integration with the surrounding architecture, whether on sloping sites, raised pools or within contemporary indoor spaces. Laguna’s Templestowe project demonstrates the precision involved, with a concealed balance tank capturing and recirculating water while maintaining the appearance of an uninterrupted edge.
Laguna’s infinity and negative edge pools are constructed using premium concrete and advanced technical systems designed to withstand the dynamic forces created by cascading water.
We work exclusively with Australia’s most trusted structural, waterproofing and filtration systems, carefully managing every technical element, including balance tanks and water management, to ensure seamless operation and long-term performance.
The result is more than a pool. It’s a landmark feature, backed by award-winning craftsmanship and a commitment to enduring quality, no matter how complex the site or vision.
Construction of your new custom concrete Laguna swimming pool takes approximately 16 weeks from dig to completion. Read more about our build process and construction timeline.
An infinity edge pool and a negative edge pool are essentially the same design, with water flowing over one or more edges into a concealed catchment system. This creates the illusion that the pool has no visible boundary, allowing the water to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape or horizon. The terms are often used interchangeably, although ‘infinity edge’ typically refers to the visual effect, while ‘negative edge’ describes the construction technique used to achieve it.
Infinity and negative edge pools offer all the benefits of a custom concrete pool, with the added impact of refined design and advanced engineering. They are particularly well suited to sloping or view-facing sites and offer advantages such as:
As a custom feature, infinity edges demand precise structural design and specialist construction to meet the fine tolerances required for a seamless negative edge finish.
Integrated into a custom concrete pool and constructed on site, an infinity edge provides a level of design freedom and visual impact that cannot be replicated through pre-formed or modular systems.
The engineering, detailing and execution involved elevate the project beyond traditional pool construction, creating an architectural masterpiece.
Yes. Because Laguna pools are designed and built using fully custom concrete construction, infinity and negative edge pools can be completely tailored to suit your site, architecture and lifestyle.
Size, shape, depth, materials and integrated features are all considered as part of the design. Features such as adjoining spas, glass walls, submerged seating, fire features and tanning ledges can be incorporated seamlessly, with every element designed as part of a cohesive whole, ensuring clarity of form, functional flow and a considered relationship between pool, home and landscape.
In general, no. A well engineered infinity edge pool does not require more chemical balancing, scrubbing or routine care than a standard concrete pool.
When designed correctly, the hydraulic system is balanced, water flow remains consistent and the catchment trough is accessible and easy to maintain. The core pool behaves exactly as any other concrete pool would.
In many Laguna projects, features such as in floor cleaning and automated water management systems are integrated from the outset, often reducing hands-on maintenance compared to more traditional setups. As always, quality design and construction are what ensure the pool performs reliably over time.
As every infinity and negative edge pool by Laguna is custom designed, construction timelines vary depending on site conditions, access, approvals and technical requirements.
An indicative program is provided at quotation stage, with clear communication and updates maintained throughout the construction process.
