Soon, swimming pool with a view 38 storeys-high in Singapore!

May 26, 4:34 pm

London, May 26 (ANI): Singapore's latest skyscraper will have an infinity swimming pool 38 storeys above the ground between two towers.

The infinity pool will dramatically connect Sky Habitat Singapore's two towers once the ambitious project is completed in 2016.

With 509 apartments, the skyscraper designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie in the central island suburb of Bishan will offer residents stunning vistas across the area.

Flat owners will also be able to traverse the two structures via sky bridges on the 14th and 26th floors.

"With Sky Habitat, we are creating a habitat for the future; a condominium that is also a house," the Daily Mail quoted Wong Heang Fine, CEO of CapitaLand Residential Singapore, which is developing the site, as saying.

"While structurally a high-rise apartment, Sky Habitat will give residents the feeling of living in a house. This is because of the natural ventilation, lush gardens, sky bridges and open walkways that surround them.

"At the same time, they will enjoy the luxurious facilities and the connectivity and convenience of living in one of the most popular residential estates in Singapore," Fine added. (ANI)
