Frameless Curved Glass Pool from Bent and Curved Glass

CURVED GLASS FLOATING POOL
Bannisters Pavillion Curved Frameless Glass Pool

This unique pool concept was created by Tony Freeman of Molnar Freeman Architects as a key feature in the expansion of the Bannisters brand on the south coast of NSW.

The cantilever pool end that floats above the entry to Bannisters Pavillion in Mollymook provides a memorable experience for hotel guests. Frameless glass panels reveal the movement and sparkle of the water which catches the eye. The surprise appearance of swimmers adds to the drama.

Bent and Curved Glass Pty Ltd (BCG) worked closely with the architects, the engineer - Wirra Wonga Consulting and the installation contractor, Ozea Group, to determine the feasibility of the desired glazing solution.

The engineering requirement for 3 layers of 15mm toughened glass could not be achieved to the tight radius proposed by the architect. BCG went to the unprecedented 4 layer structural laminated makeup in both curved and flat glass to achieve the finished thickness of 54.84mm.

The largest panel weighing in at 519kg.
