Altitude Adjustment | Episode 6 - How this 8,000-ft. Mountain Home Holds Up an Infinity Pool
In Episode 6 of Altitude Adjustment, Stephanie takes viewers inside the highly complex construction of a cliffside infinity-edge hot-pool, revealing how the team engineered a gunite shell, integrated custom features like fiber-optic “star floor” lighting, and designed the space to capture panoramic lake views. She walks through the challenges of building atop a 28-foot foundation wall, coordinating rebar, plumbing, and structural backfill, and preparing the pool to overwinter before tile and plaster are applied. The episode also highlights deck-jet installations, radiant-heated paver systems for year-round access, and the concealed pool equipment room that keeps the system protected in extreme conditions. Stephanie closes by discussing cost ranges for a high-end build of this caliber and previews what’s ahead in the series.
