The Skyframe along with its rooftop pool design recently won first place at the annual SuperSkyScrapers competition. Designed by Tommaso Bernabo Silorata, the conceptual structure is a Parisian hotel complete with a sky pool and business area. Consisting of two towers, the very top are joined together with a mind-warping rooftop pool design.
This would create an unparalleled swimming and "vertiginous diving experience" for hotel guests on the roof. The pool's bottom is also transparent, giving swimmers the illusion of floating in space high above the ground. The roof pool would also have an accompanying restaurant and lounge bar, according to the plans.
The empty space between the buildings provides ample opportunity for terraces where visitors and business professionals can go to relax and enjoy themselves while also enjoying the unique view.
