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](https://www.herzogdemeuron.com/projects/492-blevio/) and that [Wallpaper shared over here](https://www.wallpaper.com/architecture/mandarin-oriental-lake-como-floating-infinity-pool-herzog-de-meuron-italy).

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