The project

An iridescent glass-tile spa with a 360° vanishing edge, fire bowls on the pool wall and a colour-changing lighting plan, all facing the lake.

The spa is the jewel here: a raised circular vessel fully clad in iridescent glass mosaic with a 360-degree overflow that drops into the freeform pool below. Fire bowls mark the lake edge, in-water loungers face the water and a curved stone stair wraps the spa wall. Colour-changing lighting turns the glass surfaces into something different every night. A small cabana and a fire pit terrace complete the shoreline.
