The penetrating swimming pool hangs between two high-rise buildings in England Transparent swimming pool is located between two apartment buildings in Ambassador Gardens, Nine Elms of London, England. The designer named the project ‘swimming pool in the sky’ true to the feeling when the experience of swimming in a transparent swimming pool hovered about 35 meters from the ground. Swimming pool is 25 meters long, 3.3 meters deep, frames made of Acrylic, can hold up to 148,000 gallons of water, equivalent to about 560,240 liters of water. With four glass sides, the pool is located right next to the rooftop bar and spa services. Once opened, the pool in the sky will become the only place to soak in this way in the UK. The ‘pool in the sky’ not only gives swimmers a breathtaking view of the parliament building, London Eye, London city skyline, but also an enjoyable experience floating in the air. Tens of meters from the ground, nothing but a transparent layer of glass makes swimmers feel like they are looking down the depths below. It is known that people created swimming pools from Colorado, USA, then transported by water across the Atlantic as a long and challenging adventure. But then, the design and installation between two high-rise buildings was even more difficult. Two buildings connected to the swimming pool are subject to common impacts including wind shakes and ground subsidence. But thanks to modern technology and architectural innovations, the swimming pool is able to handle the natural movements of two 10-story buildings that it sits in between. According to the design company, the first two sections of the pool are not rigid connections that can slide from side to side while retaining watertight integrity. Chairman Ballymore, developer of Ambassador Gardens, said: “Creating a pool in the sky comes from a desire to cross the boundaries of buildability as well as technology. We also want to cross boundaries on every aspect of the design, the transparent structure of the swimming pool the result of many significant advances in technology over the past decade. swimming will bring a unique feeling, as if floating in the air in central London “. Expected, the swimming pool will open on May 19.
