"Battersea Power Station" in London, England, famous for the jacket of Pink Floyd's album "Animals". An aerial glass pool "sky pool" will be constructed on the site of the power plant, which is currently undergoing redevelopment.

The "sky pool" is a pool with a width of 5 meters and a length of 25 meters that is installed between two condominiums. The pool will not be fitted with any structures such as steel frames to support the weight, and will be constructed only with 20 cm thick glass. For this reason, people who swim in this pool can feel like they are floating in the skies of London.


Only available to residents of the condominium. Residents can enjoy a little adventure of swimming between the two buildings. There are hot spas and bars around the pool, so you can heal your tiredness after swimming.

The "sky pool" can be said to be an idea unique to Britain where earthquakes rarely occur. I'm a little envious of this. However, London, England is by no means a good climate. There shouldn't be many weather days when you want to swim in the outdoor pool. In the future, the water will be drained and it will be used as a "glass bridge" that connects the two condominiums. But what about?

The price of the condominium is £ 602,000 (about 116.3 million yen). Completion is scheduled for 2017.
