With residential buildings getting taller and taller that can only mean one thing death defying rooftop swimming pools.
Jumping onto this trend award-winning pool designers Compass Pools have recently developed the brand new Infinity London a 360-degree infinity pool which boasts terrifying views 200 metres above the skyline.
Featuring a 600,000-litre pool located on top of a 55-storey building, the pool is made from cast acrylic instead of glass, with a transparent floor so that visitors can see swimmers directly above them.
The pool will also boast a range of technical features, such as a built-in anemometer to monitor the wind speed to ensure the pool stays at the right temperature. This will also manage the water so that it doesn't overflow to the street below.
Boasting an innovative twist on renewable energy, the pool’s heating system will use waste energy from the air condition system for the building.
Construction of Infinity London could start as soon as 2020 if all the partners and contractors are confirmed and will feature a five-star international hotel on the top floors of the building for exclusive use of the guests
