London to have world’s first 360-degree infinity pool above a skyscraper

Published on : Tuesday, June 11, 2019

 

 

It will allow the visitors to get a floating feel above the city’s skyline and as per Compass Pools it will be the only building in the world to incorporate a 360-degree infinity pool.

 

 

The pool will have transparent sides and floors and will be made from cast acrylic and will provide uninterrupted views of the city both above and below the water.

 

 

Through an air-locked rotating spiral staircase rising through the water the pool can be accessed. This is based on the design of a submarine door.It is expected that the pool will be heated using energy from the building’s air conditioni9ng system.

 

 

Water will not be spilled onto the streets below as there will be a built-in wind speed monitor to prevent spilling. There will also be a full spectrum of twinkling lights to give the building the appearance of a sparkling “jewel-topped torch” at night.

 

 

 

Compass Pools swimming pool designer and technical director Alex Kemsley stated that they wanted to create something truly spectacular and groundbreaking in the world of swimming pool design.

 

 

 

It is expected that the construction will begin in 2020.
