Hello everyone i have a very interesting project, I am designing a 1000 m 2 internal area duplex apartment, my question is on one side of the apartment on the 36th floor it will be an indoor pool spa area, the pool will be sinked in with depth of 1 m so the height of the ceiling on the 35th floor will be 2.5 m which is low in that area of the apartment on the 35th what would you have in order for the low ceiling space to look good

Just lease out the 35th floor to short people.

Raise the door knobs.
Cut the legs off the furniture.
Use dimmable light fixtures.

that’s illegal in my country (tallest people in the world), 2.6m is the absolute minimum…

Just give up that apartment and make the pool extra deep.

Yeah, 1m is kind of a shallow pool. I realize putting a huge tank of water on an upper floor at 1kg/L has structural implications, but if the building can take the load then I'd just make the pool the full depth of the storey.

atelier, that 'if,' like the floor below this apartment, is doing some seriously heavy lifting.

All I can say is that I wish I had enough money to waste on a useless pool while also making the space below it unusable.

2.5m is 8.2ft, that's high enough for nearly any activity and higher than the ceilings in most old homes in the US.

You're right. But it allows only a 1m deep pool, and we're all making an assumption that they've allowed for enough structure below it to keep from failing. I don't buy it.

In the original post they wrote, "the height of the ceiling on the 35th floor will be 2.5 m." Why assume otherwise?

You're right. It's an assumption. But it tells me this person has nobody in real life to run this idea by, which therefore tells me they likely have very little experience in this area.

Fair assumption.
