HANSOM DRINKING IN THE VIEW

摘要

Developer Ballymore will soon receive an expensive package from the US - a £2.5m, 25m-long transparent glass swimming pool to be suspended 10 storeys up between two London apartment blocks. The pool, at the Irish client's Embassy Gardens, a luxury residential scheme under construction opposite the soon-to-be US Embassy in Nine Elms, has already grabbed headlines for its voyeuristic position 35m above the streets below, affording passers-by a view of any residents taking a dip. The pool has been designed by Arup Associates and costed by QS Bruceshaw. It's set to be shipped over from Colorado in the US - where a manufacturer was found capable of meeting the unusual demands of the job - in the next few weeks.
