Swimming on the Rocks
Alka Pool
The Project
Jutting out from the rock cliff, this high-end home has a breathtaking view at every angle of the valley below and surrounding mountains. A portion of the infinity pool is suspended 40’0” creating a stunning aesthetic. In order to keep working throughout the year, the infinity pool was covered with a Hydralux cover and heated during the winter months.
Black glass tile, throughout the infinity pool and whirlpool interiors, give the water elements of the home a mountain lake look, while the geometric design maintains the modern look to the home. For the perfect resort feel, a lounging ledge was included and for that late night swim, a set of Hydrel LED lights were added. To further enhance the customer’s enjoyment of this luxurious suspended pool, a UV, Ozone and Chlorinator Sanitation System, as well as a Turbo Clean System, were included.
Tucked into the recess of the house and surrounded by stone sits a cozy hot tub. An oculus over this hot tub allows natural light into the covered area, creating a spectacular effect against the black glass tile. Like the infinity pool, this hot tub also features a Hydralux automatic cover.
