The skyscraper's infinity pool, where is the diving board?

Seductive images show the entire roof of an unidentified central London tower earmarked for an infinity pool, with no apparent entrance.
It is meant to be a “fist for heaven” that destroys boundaries.
The project was announced by the British company Compass Pool, which specializes in the production of swimming pools, which revealed what the most beautiful swimming pool in the world will look like, the production of which will begin in 2020, if investors confirm their interest in the project.

London Skyscrapers

The designer Alex KemsleySaid:

“The building was born as a design concept to push the boundaries of engineering and literally split the sky”

and added that there had been “significant global interest,” including discussions with several investors and a luxury hotel chain. Kemsley said London would be his preferred location.

Test your eyes with a 360-degree view of London from a height of 220m, it will be truly something never experienced before.

The exact location of Infinity London is yet to be confirmed.

Infinity London could begin construction as early as 2020 if all partners and contractors are confirmed.
It will have a five-star international hotel on the upper floors of the building with a swimming pool used by guests.

Commenting on the design, Compass Pools’ pool designer and technical director, Alex Kemsley said: “We faced some pretty significant technical challenges with this building, the most important being how to actually get into the pool.
“Normally a simple staircase would suffice, but we didn’t want stairs on the outside of the building or in the pool because they would spoil the view, the solution we found is based on the system used for the door of a submarine, combined with a rotating spiral staircase that rises from the bottom of the pool when someone wants to enter or exit, it’s a complete novelty in pool and building design and a bit like in a James Bond film.”
The pool will also have a built-in anemometer to monitor wind speed and will be connected to a computer-controlled building management system that will regulate the pool's temperature and ensure that water does not spill onto the streets below. The water will be heated using waste energy from the building's air conditioning system.

The pool will be made of cast acrylic and feature transparent walls and floors, so visitors below will be able to see the swimmers swimming above them.

If it doesn't end up in London, another view will be seen from the pool, there could be negotiations for a similar project in Dubai.

Peter Cook of the architectural firm Archigram once said, “The skyscraper is still the stuff of heroes. Superman and Superwoman can aspire to the executive floor, or even higher. The only problem for a designer is how to make your tall box different from the others.” Cook’s adage is increasingly true.
