Created as part of a new apartment development in Forster, on the NSW Mid North Coast, this custom curved pool was designed by the builders to be a feature when viewed from the apartments above. Not only is it a striking centrepiece of the apartment complex, it was also recognised as a SPASA NSW/ACT gold winner in the Concrete Commercial Pools up to $250,000 category.

The 12.43m-long pool is a difficult design and was located in sandy conditions that required formwork and expert installation of steel due to the radius. The shape, a modern design with entry steps at each end, was provided by the builder, Hunt Collaborative, while the internal depths and step configuration were provided by Jade Pools.

“We specialise in the family pool by creating the dream and bringing it to life, but in this instance we were approached by the builder as they required a company prepared to travel to Forster (3.5 hours from Sydney) for the build,” explain John and Helen Daniel, owners of Jade Pools.

“We were involved with the apartment complex builder and project manager during the course of the project. Constant communication was key to ensure the pool works were done in a timely manner, while taking into account the build underway for the apartments. Coordination with the builders was required for timing during the construction phase because of the number of workers on site, taking into consideration surrounding properties and the main road access.”

Boasting a stunning Ezarri Sky Blue fully tiled interior, and Nuage Cream porcelain tiles for the paving and coping, it really is no surprise that this custom curved pool project was so highly regarded by the judges in the 2021 SPASA NSW/ACT awards, not to mention the residents and guests of the complex.

Many are long enough for lap swimming, have beautiful finishes, and are flanked by lounge chairs.

The goal? Resort-style living spaces that aren’t just for show but places for human connection and everyday comfort. 

Take a look at our list of the top 5 resort-style apartment pools from around the world that nailed this:

Nine on the Hudson, New Jersey, USA

Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architecture designed a tiered 278-condo complex in Hoboken, New Jersey, with amazing corner views of Manhattan across the Hudson.

The modern development by K Hovnanian Homes also features communal areas with an outdoor lounge, a wet bar, and multiple fire pits as well as outdoor heaters.

Then there’s the infinity edge pool, which flows without interruption towards the world’s most famous skyline. It also includes a cozy hot tub.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai

The world’s tallest building, Dubai’s 160-story Burj Khalifa, features a premium health club – The Burj Club, which has two pool options: an Olympic-size indoor lap pool and an elegant outdoor pool surrounded by sun beds. Lounge around on one of these plush beds and you can enjoy the views of Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain. Once you’ve completed your workout and recovered by the pool, head over to the Rooftop Burj Club to enjoy the club’s international menu.

Residents can mingle with other locals at the Rooftop Pool on the third-floor terrace, adjacent to The Burj Club fitness facilities. It’s the setting for the new Rooftop Soiree at the Burj Club. From Wednesday to Friday, AED150 ($54) as of November 2022 gets you sunset access to the pool, where DJs and giant inflatables create a party atmosphere.

Rose Hill, NYC, USA

Rose Hill is a proudly modern structure that pays homage to the dream of living in authentic, thriving, and historic New York. This iconic and timeless building, located at 30 East 29th Street in the charming and historic Rose Hill neighbourhood of NoMad, for which it is named, features three full floors of sophisticated amenities that enrich a social and active lifestyle.

A fully equipped Gym curated by Fhitting Room, a professional-grade Squash Court in collaboration with SquashRx, and an expansive 50-foot Pool surrounded by hand-crafted, green oxide-glazed tiled walls await down the spiral lobby staircase. Relax in the Dry Heat Wellness Sauna and spacious private Changing Rooms after a workout.

The European Bathhouse: Alden Park, Philadelphia, USA

Alden Park, one of Philadelphia’s finest apartment communities, spans 38 acres and is practically a neighbourhood in and of itself. This means it has enough space for an outdoor pool as well as an indoor swimming area, the latter of which will remind you of a luxurious European bathhouse.

The indoor pool at the apartment complex is as impressive as it gets, with poolside beds and lounge areas, and, to top it all off, the roof retracts so you can enjoy the view while swimming a lap or simply relaxing in the water.

Sky Pool at Embassy Gardens, London

Swimming has reached new heights in London. The Embassy Gardens, a mixed-use community from EcoWorld Ballymore, includes the Sky Pool, a see-through pool suspended 115 feet in the air between two apartment buildings. It is located next to the United States. Embassy in the London neighbourhood of Nine Elms, near the Thames River.

The acrylic pool, which is 82 feet long, 16 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, was built in a factory in Colorado and carefully transported across the Atlantic for installation. Those who take a dip will be able to see the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
