著名猶太裔建築師薩夫迪(Moshe Safdie)設計新加坡樓高38層空中泳池。
該空中無垠泳池長50米，建於新加坡市郊碧山區樓盤晴宇(Sky Habitat)的兩幢住宅大廈之間，離地38層，考驗泳客膽識，預計2016年竣工。
今次並不是薩夫迪拉首次在妙想天開的地方建泳池，造價達486億港元的新加坡濱海灣金沙酒店 (Marina Bay Sands)頂樓150米長的酒店無垠泳池，也是出自他手筆。
The world's scariest length? Singapore's latest skyscraper to have infinity pool 38 STOREYS above ground between two towers
Swimmers braving a length of this pool will need a real head for heights - seeing as it's a staggering 38 storeys high.
The infinity pool will dramatically connect Sky Habitat Singapore's two towers once the ambitious project is completed in 2016.
With 509 apartments, the Moshe Safdie-designed development in the central island suburb of Bishan will offer residents stunning vistas across the area.
Pool with a view: Sky Habitat Singapore's infinity pool will offer stunning vistas for those who dare to enter its waters
High and mighty: The pool will be located on the 38th storey of the Sky Habitat Singapore complex
Flat owners will also be able to traverse the two structures via sky bridges on the 14th and 26th floors. Wong Heang Fine, CEO of CapitaLand Residential Singapore which is developing the site, said: 'With Sky Habitat, we are creating a habitat for the future; a condominium that is also a house.
'While structurally a high-rise apartment, Sky Habitat will give residents the feeling of living in a house. This is because of the natural ventilation, lush gardens, sky bridges and open walkways that surround them.
'At the same time, they will enjoy the luxurious facilities and the connectivity and convenience of living in one of the most popular residential estates in Singapore.
Safdie is no stranger to creating swimming pools in seemingly strange places. He also played a key part in designing the £4billio Marina Bay Sands development, also in Singapore, which has a 150metre pool 55 storeys up.
Wonder: Sky Habitat Singapore was designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie and should be completed in 2016
Worry: Hopefully there will be more health and safety in place around the pool once it is opened, as in this impression there seems to be no barrier over the edge |
