The dark water line sets the tone at once. A large infinity edge pool stretches 15 by 5 metres through the garden, and the long stair runs the full length of the basin. From the terrace, the steps read almost like a shallow platform before they become a clear route into the water. The dark anthracite pool finish makes the surface look deep blue outdoors, especially where the light catches the overflow edge.

One long stair, built into the full length

The staircase is not tucked into a corner. It follows the length of the pool, which gives the entry a different rhythm from a standard narrow set of steps. That wide run creates an easy way down into the water and also forms a place to sit with family and friends. In the images, the stair pulls the eye along the pool rather than breaking it up, so the geometry stays calm and direct. It is a pool with long staircase, but the stair also becomes part of the surface composition.

Three sides are finished with a border profile that helps the pool meet its surroundings without visual clutter. Around it, the paving sits close to the edge, and the planting beds soften the hard lines with low greenery and controlled breaks. The result is a large infinity pool that feels set into the garden instead of placed on top of it. Even the terrace furniture keeps to the same measured order, leaving the waterline to do the main work.

Dark anthracite skin, deep blue water

The shell is made from PPC, a material specified here for its frost resistance, impact resistance, low maintenance needs, and resistance to osmosis. Those technical traits stay in the background, but the dark anthracite pool finish is impossible to miss. It changes the way the pool reads in daylight. The water turns a saturated blue, and the reflected sky gets a sharper edge. In the wider views, the finish also strengthens the contrast with the pale paving and the brick-and-stone setting around the garden.

That darker lining is one of the reasons the infinity edge pool looks so defined in the photographs. The water surface becomes a plane with weight, not just a reflective layer. In the night images, the same finish lets the light sit cleanly along the edge. Red accents and soft perimeter lighting skim across the pool instead of disappearing into it. The basin keeps its shape after dark, which makes the long lines easier to read from the house and terrace.

A concealed cover that stays out of view

An automatic solar roll cover is tucked into a recess, so the mechanism does not interrupt the pool edge. When it is open, the surface stays visually clear. When it is closed, the cover sits low and discreet, away from the main sightline. That choice matters in a project like this, where the infinity edge pool is built around long horizontal lines. Even the rounded form visible above the water in one image remains restrained, more like a technical gesture than a visual feature.

From different angles, the cover and the stair work together to keep the basin readable. There is no heavy equipment sitting on the terrace and no visible stack of pool parts near the water. The eye moves from stone paving to the dark pool wall, then across the full 15-metre run of steps. The pool cover remains part of the technical setup, but it does not take over the scene.

Automatic water care keeps the basin ready

Water quality is managed by a fully automatic system, supported by remote pool service that monitors the installation from a distance. The source notes even mention an alarm for something as simple as an empty canister, which shows how much of the maintenance is handled before it becomes a problem for the owner. In practical terms, that means the pool equipment room and control setup work quietly in the background while the water stays ready for use.

Inside the technical room, the pipework, units, valves, and control panels are laid out in a clear row. The photographs make that part of the project look almost architectural in itself: metal lines, junctions, and compact equipment arranged against the wall. It is not decorative, but it is visible enough to explain how the pool operates. For a project page like this, that technical room matters because it completes the story behind the infinity edge pool and the long stair above ground.

A garden project with spa and sauna

The pool is not the only water-and-warmth element in the garden. A spa and a sauna were also added, which extends the project beyond the main basin without distracting from it. They belong to the same outdoor setting, but the photographs still keep the infinity edge pool at the centre. The wider garden composition uses paving, planting, and seating to link these parts together, while the pool remains the clearest visual anchor.

Seen as a whole, the project is built from distinct zones rather than one continuous gesture. The pool, the spa, and the sauna each have their own role. What connects them is the disciplined use of lines and materials: dark water, stone paving, planted borders, and concealed technical elements. The large infinity pool gives the garden its long horizontal draw, while the added spa and sauna extend the use of the space without changing that core reading.

Edge, reflection and evening light

The strongest images are the ones that hold several layers at once: water, terrace, planting, and the house reflected on the surface. One shot shows the pool mirroring the architecture above it, while another uses the long side of the basin to frame lounge chairs and the planted border. At night, the edges glow rather than shine, and the blue water picks up the surrounding lights in small bands. Those details keep the infinity edge pool active in both daylight and after dark.

What stays with you is the length. The staircase, the dark lining, the overflow edge, and the concealed cover all reinforce that single move across 15 metres. It is a pool built to be entered slowly, read from the terrace, and maintained without fuss in the background. The spa and sauna sit quietly beside it, but the main impression is still the long waterline, the anthracite finish, and the clean way the pool settles into the garden.
