to go to Victoria,
it passes the new
2,000-home development in the Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station
regeneration zone, and from May
19, 2021 we might be able to see this, the Sky Pool, measuring
25 meters in length, the transparent outdoor pool was designed by HAL Architects. It is made out of acrylic and can hold up to 148,000 gallons of
water, the impressive sky pool is the centrepiece of Embassy Gardens, apparently the pool was so difficult to make it had to be made in Colorado, USA. and transported to the UK amazingly the Sky Pool
can handle the natural movements of the two 10-storey building it connects.
According to HAL Architects, it is not rigidly connected at both ends; it can
slide from one side to the other, while maintaining water-tight integrity, “The vision
for the Sky Pool stemmed from a desire to push the boundaries in the capability
of construction and engineering, Ecoworld Ballymore wanted to do something that
had never been done before,” the Chairman of Ballymore, developer of Embassy Gardens, said, adding “We like to push the boundaries on all aspects of design,
the Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements
in technologies over the last decade. The experience of the pool will be truly
unique, it will feel like floating through the air in central London,” we have mentioned Sky Pools before, swimmers will have breath taking views of the House of Parliament, the London Eye and London’s city
skyline, and also the thrilling experience of floating in the air, but for myself given my fear of heights, I will stick to a splash in the municipal swimming pools!
