A swimming pool between two buildings

The London oddity

Who would have thought that it would be possible to have a swimming pool between two buildings? No, it’s not 3000, it’s 2021. One of the most difficult periods in the history of mankind. But it is also a time when great innovations and inventions are emerging.

In previous columns, we have already discussed how mankind has endeavoured to improve a critical situation such as the one we are currently experiencing. We have seen how the concept of outdoor space has been re-evaluated and how new investors are looking for green and open spaces in their homes.

It is not surprising that in Europe’s major capitals a number of projects have stood out which, in addition to safeguarding the interests of the community, have turned the world of real estate on its head. Among these realities could not miss certainly London that implemented several government plans . Such as Westminster City plan to redevelop its urban structure. But today, just as you can deduce from the title, we want to talk about a real treat for the Real estate London.

So, if you are ready, we can start with our column!

A swimming pool between two buildings

Let’s start by understanding how it was possible to build a swimming pool between two buildings. It is in fact an unprecedented swimming pool. The structure in question is literally set on the tenth floor of two buildings. You can find them in south-west London in the Embassy Gardens district.

In the residential area of Nine Elms. The entire structure is defined as a Sky pool, considering that the effect is that of a swimming pool suspended in the sky. A real jewel for London real estate, which is once again one of the most particular and avant-garde in the world.

The project

The project of the swimming pool between two buildings is not a Londoner. It is American. In fact, this pool was born, comma design level in Colorado. The geniuses behind the creation of this particular element of London real estate are two architects. Their fame precedes them, as they have already signed other projects such as the Sydney Opera House.

Although the swimming pool suspended between the two buildings was to be inaugurated last summer, the project has not been shelved at all. So much so that the pool was made available to the public as soon as London was considered covid free. Obviously and free of charge only for residents of the luxury residential complex in which it is located.

How big is the pool?

No doubt one of the questions you’re asking yourself right now is about the size of the swimming pool. How can a swimming pool that joins two buildings not be large? In fact, the pool in question is 35 metres long and 14 metres deep. It is made of self-supporting acrylic and is supported by a steel frame. How can we not call it a jewel of London real estate?

A clear example of how, even in the most difficult times, human genius can create and carry out truly innovative ideas capable of giving that added value!
