‘normally a simple ladder would suffice, but we didn’t want stairs on the outside of the building or in the pool as it would spoil the view – and obviously you don’t want 600,000 liters of water draining through the building either.’
#Glass skyscraper pool how to
we faced some quite major technical challenges to this building, the biggest one being how to actually get into the pool,’ alex adds. ‘when we designed the pool, we wanted an uninterrupted view, both above and below the water. ‘but on this project, we actually started with the pool design and essentially said, ‘how do we put a building underneath this?’ ‘architects often come to us to design roof top infinity pools, but rarely do we get a say in the building design because the pool is usually an afterthought,’ compass pool’s swimming pool designer and technical director alex kemsley commented. The pool would also be equipped with colored lights designed to give the tower the appearance of a sparkling jewel at night, while the pool walls and floor is made of cast acryclic instead of traditional glass. it also has a transparent floor so visitors can see swimmers overhead, and an innovative heating system that captures hot gas produced through the building’s air conditioning systems to warm the water for the pool. Other technical features include a built-in anemometer to monitor the wind speed, which is linked to a computer-controlled building management system to ensure the pool stays at the right temperature and water doesn’t get blown down to the streets below. 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. the floor of the pool is also transparent, allowing visitors to see the swimmers and sky above. The planned pool would be made from cast acrylic rather than glass, transmitting light at a similar wavelength to water so the pool will look perfectly clear. UK-based pool manufacturer, compass pools, unveiled its design for infinity london, a 600,000-liter pool that would top a 55-story hotel, allowing visitors to float over 200 meters above the capital’s skyline. The pool would also feature a full spectrum of lights, giving the building the appearance of a “sparkling jewel-topped torch” at night.Plans are underway to build the world’s first rooftop 360-degree infinity pool in london. Colorful lights will give the pool a unique appearance at night “When we designed the pool, we wanted an uninterrupted view, both above and below the water,” says the designer. “Architects often come to us to design roof top infinity pools, but rarely do we get a say in the building design because the pool is usually an afterthought,” says Alex Kemsley, swimming pool designer and technical director at Compass Pools. “But on this project, we actually started with the pool design and essentially said, ‘how do we put a building underneath this?’” “The hot gas that is produced as a by-product of creating cold air in the building will run through a heat exchanger to heat the water for the pool.” This swimming pool certainly isn’t for those who fear heights! “Boasting an innovative twist on renewable energy, the pool’s heating system will use waste energy from the air condition system for the building,” write Compass Pools. Compass Pools say it would be linked with a computer-controlled building management system and would ensure the optimal water temperature and make sure water doesn’t get blown down to the streets below.
The swimming pool will be packed with all sorts of innovative technologyĪnother unique feature of the pool is a built-in anemometer – a device used to measure wind speed. “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,” write the company on their project page. Many people were asking how would people get to the pool and Compass Pools have come up with a unique solution. Read more Compass Pools have designed a unique pool concept called Infinity London
