RESIDENTIAL. DARLING POINT

Mona Road.

A D-shaped rooftop pool finished in green glass mosaic, its straight edge closed by a single run of frameless glass over the Sydney skyline.

Location
Darling Point, NSW
Type
Residential rooftop

This pool sits on top of a residential building at Darling Point, with the city on one side and the eastern suburbs falling away on the other. The brief was a pool that belonged to the roofline, open to the outlook rather than closed off behind a fence.

We built a D-shaped concrete shell finished in a deep green glass mosaic, with the straight face held by a single run of frameless glass so the water reads flush with the horizon. A round spa sits alongside it, and pale stone paving keeps the terrace quiet under the sun. From the water, the view runs uninterrupted from the harbour across to the city.

Frequently asked

Darling Point pool questions.

How does the rooftop infinity edge on the Mona Road pool work?
The straight face of the D-shaped shell is held by a single run of frameless glass, so the water reads flush with the horizon. On a rooftop that means engineering the shell and its edge to sit level with the building and carry the outlook uninterrupted.
Can Wright Pools build a concrete pool on top of a building?
Yes. Mona Road sits on top of a residential building at Darling Point, with the city on one side and the eastern suburbs on the other. Rooftop pools call for structural coordination and waterproofing that our commercial background covers.
What shape and finish were used at Mona Road?
We poured a D-shaped concrete shell finished in deep green glass mosaic, with a round spa alongside and pale stone paving across the terrace. The mosaic and stone keep the terrace quiet so the view does the work.
