The phrase "apartment swimming pool" holds so much promise: a few laps before breakfast; a quick dip after work; long, lazy days lounging poolside with a good book and a cold drink. In reality, apartment swimming pools are often tired, forgotten places cursed by shade, leaf matter and an abundance of pebblecrete. That's not the case with a sleek, new breed of developments incorporating high-end pool and recreation areas the likes of which are more often seen in five-star resorts than residential buildings.
At Infinity by Crown Group in Zetland, the wedge-shaped pool is designed to be the focal point of the 20-storey, 326-apartment mixed-use development next to Green Square station.
