The First 360-Degree Infinity Pool Sits Atop A 55-Storey Building

A luxurious pool can wow anybody and this British pool would definitely do so while breaking all records. Have you ever wondered how you feel when swimming in an infinity pool? Via CNN, we know that ‘Infinity London’ is the name of this pool.

Pool overview

The sides and the floors of this 600,000-liter pool will stay transparent and visitors will be able to see the sky above. As a matter of fact, the material used to build the pool is cast acrylic. Alex Kemsley, the technical director and designer of Compass Pool shared that he wanted a pool with the uninterrupted view from any angle.

How do I get in?

You won't find any stairway leading to the pool because the designers want to keep a pristine view of this masterpiece. That being said, how are we getting inside? Well, the pool looks lavish but getting inside it might actually be a thrilling challenge. To access “Infinity London”, swimmers have to enter through a rotating spiral staircase that rises from underneath the pool.

A technical challenge

Needless to say, it was a major technical challenge for the design team to handle. Of course, they could have built a normal stairway leading to the pool from the outside of the building. However, that would definitely ruin the view and arise the water draining issue. At the same time, the solution to the pool entrance totally based on the door from submarines. Whenever someone wants to enter or leave the pool, they would go through a rotating spiral staircase.

In fact, the designers wanted to have a five-star hotel underneath the “Infinity London”. To heat the pool, they would use waste energy from the building’ air-con system. Which building in specific? The exact location will be revealed in the future.

So, for British citizens, how excited are you to try this pool, on the scale from 1 to 360?
