CNN —Two new 591-foot-tall skyscrapers, linked across the top by a daring “sky pool,” are set to rise above Dubai’s Marasi Marina.
Designed by British architect Norman Foster's firm, Foster + Partners, the project will soar above Dubai's Marasi Marina.
And residents need not worry about missing out on the “sky pool”: All the apartments contain their own private swimming terraces (and access to another 82-foot indoor lap pool).
The design was “inspired by cascading water,” according to Foster + Partners, the architecture firm behind the project.
It is not the first time a swimming pool has been suspended between buildings: London’s see-through Sky Pool, built across the 10th stories of two residential towers, opened in the British capital’s Nine Elms neighborhood in 2021.
