The Compass Pools 'Infinity London' pool has been rendered by the UK-based brand as a new one-of-a-kind installation that would provide swimmers with an unbelievably magical experience. Designed to sit atop of a. 55-storey hotel in London, the pool would offer swimmers an uninterrupted 360-degree view to enjoy while swimming. The pool would only be accessible via the base where swimmers would enter a submarine door at the top of a spiral staircase to be immersed without allowing any water to spill.
The conceptual Compass Pools 'Infinity London' features transparent acrylic sides that would further accentuate the all-encompassing view to let swimmers admire the London cityscape when above or under the surface. Contractors and partners for the the installation haven't been confirmed, but construction could begin in 2020.
