SKY’S THE LIMIT Infinity pools aren’t a modern phenomenon: one of the earliest examples, the Stag Fountain at Versailles, France, dates from the 1660s. Nevertheless, the seemingly boundary- free connection they create between a garden and the ocean and sky beyond it feels extremely contemporary. At this dreamy seaside home, the pool draws the eye outwards towards the endless blues of the horizon, creating a calm and tranquil atmosphere. Tip They look great and add considerable value to a property, but bear in mind that rim-flow pools require Specialized design and installation: for example, two pumps are needed, one to drive the water up from the lower-level reservoir into which the water “overflows,” and another for the sanitization process.
