Top 10 Most Amazing Swimming Pools

10 – A living room with a glass bottom pool.  A multilevel speculative penthouse design. Look carefully as the big glass pod is not the pool, if you look at the top of the picture you can see the roof top pool that hangs over the living room.

9 – This pool is not a big pool, but it has an amazing view when you are in the pool. Perched high up on the mountain, the house is build on three levels. You get the illusion that you are sitting in a pool with no wall. Here again I have used 2 images to illustrate the great use of space and to get the best use of the location.

8 – Hotel Joule In Dallas. Part of the pool juts out from the building with only a thick pane of glass between swimmers and the city ten floors below. Now this is why you want to take a business trip.

7 – Living large. Not only does this pool blend in with the rest of the house, you get the illusion that you are surrounded by water. Don’t you just want to jump from the roof into the very inviting water.  This also illustrates how strong glass is.

6 – The unique 30 metres long swimming baths, in the Holiday Inn hotel, Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao. This gives new meaning to the word, using maximum space. Not only do you have a pool but below you have a great view that softens any concrete building making it stand out. I have been very privileged to have stayed in a hotel with a glass bottom pool situated on the top floor. When I swam I was actually petrified the glass bottom  would  crack to just fall out.

5 – This pool is  one of my favourites. It combines the simply lines of architecture, with the calming effect that water has. Plus gives a new meaning to the phrase “making an entrance”. I also have used two pictures of this pool so you can understand the whole design effect.

You get the illusion that the stairs are part of the pool. Brilliant design, and you have to have faith that the glass will not crack or move if you have a earth tremor.

3 – Custom swimming pools have always fascinated us, and it’s always interesting to see a pool that flows seamlessly through the home itself. This is exactly the case with this custom indoor glass swimming pool that runs right through a contemporary home.

Located in Hampstead Village, London, United Kingdom, the pool is nestled at the heart of the 6,500 square foot house, completely surrounded by glass. The house along with the pool was designed by architects Paxton Locher. Other notable mentions of this incredible household include five bedrooms, a gym, media room, and even a party room. Great house for parties.

1. The ISM Parinee Ohm Tower, a proposed 30 story luxury condominium tower in Mumbai, India includes convenient glass-walled balcony pools. The tower was designed by Hong Kong-based James Law Cybertecture. I do admire the architecture, but my question is how do you clean the pool?  But it’s an amazing pool to cool off in.
