Nice Strata Pools ... But What About Leaks?























I'm a sucker for extravagant architecture and this concept for balcony infinity edge pools in new strata apartments by James Law Cybertecture in Mumbai looks fantastic.  




You can find out more about them in this SMH Domain article and at the Cybertecture website.  I'm sure that the structural requirements and water supply, recirculation and filtration can be easily handled.  But I'm not so sure about the waterproofing.


After all if most builders can't consistently make sure that windows, balcony doors and planter boxes are waterproof, then what chance to do they have of keeping a few tonnes of water in these balcony pools?


I guess you'd be a bit worried (and wet) if there's one on the balcony above you.
