Swimming pools are an increasingly popular addition to Sydney apartment buildings as buyers seek resort-style living in the inner city.
Whether it’s a sparkling sky-high pool boasting iconic harbour views or an infinity pool where the water’s edge merges into the city skyline, luxury swimming pools being constructed in new apartment buildings across Sydney are making a splash.
While a swim provides cool relief on a hot day, these pools are also set to be architectural masterpieces in their own right, complemented by further wellness offerings. With bold and sleek designs, they promise residents a quiet retreat amid the din of the city.
