A cantilever pool is a specific type of swimming pool design where the edge of the pool extends beyond the supporting wall structure, creating a visually arresting floating effect.

A negative edge pool, also known as a “vanishing edge” pool, is designed to create the illusion that the water is flowing over the edge of the pool, disappearing into the horizon. This effect is achieved by having one or more edges of the pool lower than the water level, allowing the water to spill over into a catch basin or trough. Negative edge pools can be particularly impressive when situated on a hillside or overlooking a scenic view.
