Elevated Aquatic Experience – Amenity Level
Alka Pool
The Project
This elevated aquatic experience brings resort-caliber wellness directly into a residential high rise, with four distinct bodies of water thoughtfully integrated on the amenity level.
Perched high above the busy streetscape, this indoor aquatic retreat offers residents a tranquil escape just steps from home. The large commercial swimming pool anchors the space, complemented by a dedicated hot tub, shallow wading pool and refreshing cold plunge—all tied together in a cohesive contemporary design. Expansive glazing, warm wood accents and crisp marble-look finishes create a calm, light-filled environment that feels a world away from the urban energy below.
A restrained, modern material palette reinforces the spa‑like atmosphere. The interior of each vessel is finished predominantly in arctic white porcelain tile, giving the water a clean, inviting appearance and enhancing visibility within the pools. Black porcelain accents define edges, benches and transitions, offering both visual clarity and a tailored, architectural look. At the waterline, a single row of 1×1 top‑hat glass tile introduces a subtle sheen that catches natural and feature lighting, tying the individual pools together and adding a refined detail consistent with the high‑rise’s overall design language.
