Perched on the side of an epic Central Coast cliff face, overlooking the sublime majesty of the surrounding national park landscape, is this 82ft/25m cantilevered lap pool with infinity edge and cascading waterfall. Rising to the challenge of strict Australian pool regulations, Michelle Leslie Studio navigated a complexity of pragmatics to achieve this alpine swimmers paradise, complete with glass sides allowing views from above and below water level.

With pool heating enabling use all year round, and an automatic retractable cover, practical use matches extraordinary aesthetic achievement.
