Infinity pools are often associated with architecturally significant homes and exceptional outlooks. 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 or negative edge pool is designed so the water appears to have no visible boundary, allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Water flows over one or more edges into a concealed trough before being carefully recirculated, maintaining a continuous and controlled water level.
Designing and building this type of pool requires a deep understanding of structure, hydraulics and site conditions. Laguna’s award-winning experience ensures every infinity or negative edge pool is engineered with precision, longevity and architectural intent.
The allure of an infinity or negative edge pool lies in its beauty, a fully custom architectural feature that can only be achieved through a concrete pool build. It requires precise engineering, specialist construction and integration from the earliest stages of design.
As a custom concrete pool is built on site, the bespoke details of an infinity edge are expertly managed by Laguna’s in-house designers and experienced construction team. From an engineered precision-level spillway wall designed to exact measurements on one or more sides to integrated hidden balance tank and catchment troughs. The flawless finish of the infinity edge is intentionally designed into the shape of the pool to suit sloping land and enhance architectural lines and views.
The result is an edge that looks effortless and performs exactly as intended, a luxury feature which cannot be achieved through pre-cast concrete, fibreglass shells or modular pool systems.
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.
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.
