Transparent Pool

OK, time for another funky architecture post. This time I'm taking you to see the transparent swimming pool! Yes, a swimming pool where you get to see the swimmers doing their laps!

And its right here in this building down Yarra's Edge in Docklands. See that strip of blue right above the gymnastic floor? That's actually water and if you are lucky enough to come at the right time, you might even see the swimmers!


Have a closer look, I'm not kidding. That's actually water and there's actually a real swimming pool right above the gym. Too bad there's no swimmers when I took this shot, then you'll really believe me!

is the roof of the gym seethrough too?? if so then everybody in the gym will be looking up the ceiling all the time....hehe
cool pool.....most pools here are outdoor..no fun especially when it rains so often...Malaysia should have one of those..

Wuching said...

fashionasia: nolah..no glass is that strong to hold up the pressure of tons of water pushing down on it! u can see they have reinforced ceiling on the gym floor so water wouldn't come crushing down on them!

5Xmom..wuching replied that he's not a DOM "yet" stressing on the "yet" hehehehehe

Hey..the floor how? transparent or not? Imagine if it is and this is built in a certain opposition run State in Northern Peninsular Malaysia, you'll definitely see the DOM sitting on the floor below looking up for "heavenly inspiration" hahahaha

Wuching said...

QV: no transparent floor lah, else everyone would wanna go to gym! very motivated! hahaha..

We have those pool in KL. Can't remember where. Nowadays it is trend to built the pool like this so that the property will sell.
