2. Infinity Pool Garden with Sunken Lounge
Introduction
A contemporary luxury staple, an infinity pool garden merges crystal-clear blue water with sleek modern lounge seating overlooking a dramatic landscape view.
What This Idea Means
It exudes modern wealth, leisure, and architectural sophistication, blurring the line between man-made luxury and natural horizons.
How to Make It
- Excavate a large rectangular pool area on an elevated terrace or hill edge, lining the bottom with light blue concrete or cyan terracotta.
- Leave one outer edge lower by a half-slab so water appears to spill over the edge into a hidden trough below.
- Build a sunken lounge pit adjacent to the pool using smooth concrete and quartz stairs, complete with a modern fire pit in the center.
- Surround the pool deck with potted palm trees and modern sun loungers built from stairs and trapdoors.
Materials Needed
- Light Blue Concrete or Cyan Terracotta
- Smooth Quartz Blocks and Stairs
- Smooth Stone Slabs
- Netherrack and Iron Bars (for fire pit)
- Stripped Birch Wood
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Use tinted glass blocks under the water near the edge to create realistic depth and refraction effects.
- Variation: Create a heated hot tub variant using bubbling water sources over magma blocks.
