Plans to build a rooftop infinity pool -- with 360-degree views of the London skyline -- are in motion.
The designs for the 600,000-liter pool and 55-story building, named Infinity London, have been unveiled by Compass Pools.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Infinity pools? Seen those before. On a skyscraper rooftop? Please. 360 degrees? Now we're talking!</p>
<p>"The pool is made from cast acrylic rather than glass, as this material transmits light at a similar wavelength to water so that the pool will look perfectly clear," British pool maker Compass Pools explains its lofty proposal for London. "The floor of the pool is also transparent, allowing visitors to see the swimmers and sky above." Of course it is.</p>

"Swimmers will access the pool through a rotating spiral staircase based on the door of a submarine, rising from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out." Cool. What could possibly go wrong.</p>

<img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/zh/zhjozi8i8ygtfwb4.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>To Skip Phillips, consumer-driven demand has moved the infinity pool away from its original design premise of blending with the landscape. It doesn’t have to be a vertical drop, like that at Marina Bay Sands. “The impetus for this came from the buying public,” and, he adds, “an uneducated pool industry.”
To understand how the infinity pool became a status symbol, it’s important to realize that “wellness” is a luxury commodity.</p></em><br /><br /><p>This Outline piece by Daisy Alioto dives into the origins of the vanishing edge infinity pool, which now — thanks to a lot of help from social media — has evolved into a trendy symbol of luxury.</p>

UMA proposes a kilometer-long infinity pool for Stockholm's waterfront Nicholas Korody2017-05-23T12:22:00-04:00>2018-11-29T13:46:03-05:00
<img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/yf/yfmy42czv4469zfo.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p>There’s long lap pools, and then there’s UMA’s design for Stockholm—a kilometer long infinity pool that serves as tourist attraction, recreational facility, and even infrastructure. The idea is to extend a walkway stretching from the northern part of Söderman to the eastern point out over the motorway that currently takes up most of the waterfront. </p><p>Perched on a load bearing structure made of a repetitive steel console structure bolted to the bedrock, the infinity pool would contain water pumped from the Baltic Sea and cleaned in a small treatment plant. The water would be heated with waste heat. According to the designers, you could even swim in parts of it during the spring and fall.
