In Harmony with Nature: The Suspended Pool in the Landscape of Lake Molveno
Suspended between the majestic Dolomites and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Molveno, the pool of Alpenresort Belvedere Spa Gourmet Dolomiti embodies an example of integrated and sustainable design.
It is an architectural masterpiece that celebrates not only natural beauty but also energy efficiency and harmonious integration with the surrounding environment.
THE PROJECT
This pool is not merely a structure, but a harmonious synthesis of landscape and architecture.
The stainless-steel pool, featuring an Infinity overflow edge in methacrylate, visually merges with the lake and sky, blurring the boundary between artifice and nature. The essential design and Dolomia stone edge express a refined balance of solidity and lightness, while the meticulously curated garden design ensures privacy and fosters an immersive experience.
But behind this beauty lies meticulous technical work. An in-depth energy diagnosis guided every design decision: solar exposure, wind direction, usage hours. This analysis enabled the system to be tailored to actual usage conditions, optimizing operation times and consumption.
The result: intelligent solutions such as an automatic cover synchronized with the nighttime overflow, a compensation tank to reduce waste, and high-efficiency thermal materials.
The outcome is a sustainable pool that delivers over 50% savings in operational costs and performance built to last over time.

“THIS POOL IS NOT JUST AN ARCHITECTURAL WORK, BUT THE RESULT OF THE SYNERGY BETWEEN DESIGN, TECHNOLOGY, AND SUSTAINABILITY, INTERTWINED FROM THE EARLIEST STAGES OF THE PROJECT. THE ADDED VALUE LIES IN THE ABILITY TO ANTICIPATE THE ENERGY IMPACT OF EACH TECHNICAL OR AESTHETIC CHOICE. THIS ENABLES US TO GUIDE THE CLIENT TOWARD EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS REGARDING HEATING SYSTEMS, POOL PLACEMENT, AND SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS. BEAUTY, THEREFORE, IS NOT A MERE DECORATION, BUT AN INTEGRAL PART OF A PROJECT DESIGNED WITH INTELLIGENCE AND VISION”.
Diego Gabrielli, CEO di Sanae
“An exceptional team effort, where every aesthetic decision was also evaluated in terms of efficiency and sustainability. We truly appreciated being able to assess the pool’s energy performance in advance, based on the technical solutions implemented. This approach allowed us to invest in beauty with the confidence that the project was also optimized in terms of consumption. It’s rare to find such a strong synergy between form and substance.”
