Swim in the Sky in London

The pool won’t be completed until 2018, and will only be for use of residents of The Embassy Gardens.

If they can work out the movement of the two buildings, then this swimming pool will be the envy of all the rest of London.

A “sky deck” will include a bar, a spa and bird’s eye views of the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, the city’s giant landmark Ferris wheel.

“The experience of the pool will be truly unique”, the CEO of Ballymore Group, Sean Mulryan, said in a statement to Quartz.

Aquarium designers Reynolds and glass engineers Eckersley O’Callaghan also contributed specialist knowledge.

A pair of luxury apartment blocks in Battersea, London will be linked by a swimming pool suspended 115 feet in the air.

As of now, no details have been released regarding the expected completion date of the sky pool, but you can check out the photos below for a closer look. Together they are developing the second phase as Eco World Ballymore. “I wanted to do something that had never been done before”, Mulryan, told the press.

Ballymore says Embassy Gardens is inspired by the buildings of New York’s Meatpacking District, with floor-to-ceiling windows and brick façades.

For Jonathan Morrison, writing in The Times, the sky pool is another example of how “Battersea is fast becoming the “ideas hub” of the architecture world”. If you get a chance, would you like to take a dip in this pool and feel like floating in mid-air?

Homes at the Nine Elms development, described by the Mayor as “the most important regeneration story in London”, have recently appeared in billboards and newspaper adverts across Asia.

“Also, as a bridge, the pool will need to be able to cater for the two buildings moving different amounts”.
