RESIDENTIAL. DARLING POINT
Darling Point.
A dark-tiled infinity pool set above the harbour, designed to read as part of the view.
- Location
- Darling Point, NSW
- Type
- Residential
The site sits high above the harbour at Darling Point, with water views across to the moorings. The owners wanted a pool that read as part of the outlook rather than a separate object in the garden.
We poured a steel-reinforced concrete shell with an infinity edge facing the water and a dark mosaic interior that picks up the sky. Stone coping runs flush with the timber deck, and the planting was kept low so the view carries straight across the pool.

Frequently asked
Darling Point pool questions.
Can you build an infinity-edge pool on a harbour-view block at Darling Point?
Yes. This Darling Point pool sits high above the harbour with an infinity edge facing the water. We poured a steel-reinforced concrete shell so the edge and levels could be set precisely, and the planting was kept low so the view carries straight across the pool.
What makes a pool read as part of the view rather than a separate object?
A dark mosaic interior picks up the sky and water, and the infinity edge removes the visible waterline on the harbour side. Stone coping run flush with the timber deck keeps the surround quiet, so the pool sits into the outlook.
Why choose a concrete pool for a sloping harbour-side site?
A steel-reinforced concrete shell can be engineered for the fall of the land and for an infinity edge, which a preformed shell cannot. It also lets us match the coping, interior and edge details to the house and the view.
