A Swimming Pool That Disappears Under Its Own Floor

It’s easy to assume that, with enough money, you can have a huge home anywhere in the world. However, space is limited, especially in major cities.

This system costs £500,000 and was designed for luxury homes with limited space to expand. Here’s how it works: by simply pushing a button you can have the pool floor rise up in 15 minutes.

It’s like having an extra room which can either be your indoor pool room or something completely different once you hide all the water. But that’s not the only benefit.

This completely changes the flexibility offered by swimming pools and adds a whole new dimension to their design.
