Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron has just completed what is being called the world's largest floating infinity pool.

Located in Lake Como at The Mandarin Oriental, the pool -- which is built out of dark Cardoso stone in order to blend in seamlessly with the lake -- was fabricated off-site in Finland and then assembled in Italy.

In order to reduce the impact of waves, the pool has also been carefully secured to the bottom of the lake.

I tried to find a cool video that I could share here, but nothing came up. So instead, you're going to have to check out the photos that HdM has on their website and that Wallpaper shared over here.

As far as floating infinity pools go, I can confidently say that this is the most beautiful one that I have ever seen.

This is not exactly a new project. The hotel, pictured above, opened in 2016 and was the brand’s second location (their first opened in São Paulo in 2001). But I like the story and how it was executed.

Hotel Emiliano is the work of husband and wife team Gustavo Filgueiras and Andrea Colli Filgueiras. He is a hotelier. And she is a jewelry designer. Both wanted to pay homage to the glory days of Rio’s Copacabana Beach.

Designed by Arthus Casas and Chad Oppenheim – who, by the way, recently built himself a stunning home in the Bahamas – the 90-room hotel is clad in white shutters that can be used to modulate the Brazilian sun.
