Glass pool suspended 35 m high to bridge luxury London flats - TomoNews

LONDON — British developers plan to build what they say will be the world's first suspended glass pool. HAL architects, developers Ballymore Group and designers Arup Associates have unveiled their plan to build a suspended glass pool bridging two luxury apartments, reports the CBC. The so-called sky pool will be suspended 10 stories high, or 35 metres above ground. In comparison, Big Ben, London's famous clock tower, stands at 96 metres high. Enclosed in 20 cm thick glass, the pool will be 25 metres long, 5 metres wide and 3 metres high, with a water depth of approximately 1.2 metres. The glass pool will connect two apartments of the Embassy Gardens development in southwest London's new Nine Elms quarter, writes Dezeen. "The experience of the pool will be truly unique, it will feel like floating through the air in central London," said Sean Mulryan, CEO of the Ballymore Group, told the Verge.
