Pool Types
Rooftop Pools
Pools engineered for rooftop or elevated terraces, built around strict structural limits.
Rooftop pools bring the pool experience to an elevated terrace, penthouse or rooftop deck. Because they sit on a structural roof rather than on grade, weight, waterproofing and structural engineering drive nearly every design decision, and the pool is typically built using lightweight construction methods.
Main Features
- Engineered for elevated / rooftop structural loads
- Lightweight construction methods (e.g. modular or steel-wall systems)
- Panoramic views as a core design driver
- Requires close coordination with a structural engineer
Ideal Use
Penthouses, rooftop terraces, and elevated decks where a ground-level pool isn't possible.
Design Considerations
- A structural engineer must confirm the roof/terrace can support the pool's loaded weight
- Waterproofing at the roof deck is critical to protect the structure below
- Wind exposure affects water feature and edge design at height
Maintenance Considerations
- Waterproofing membranes should be inspected on a scheduled basis
- Equipment access at height should be planned for servicing
