LONDON — For a break from this week’s unseasonably warm temperatures (for Britain, anyway), some Londoners cooled off in a new swimming pool that sits more than 10 stories above the ground, bridging two high-end residential buildings.
Made of transparent polymer, the 82-foot-long pool opened last month after being engineered and constructed in Grand Junction, Colo. The 61-ton structure was then shipped to London, a journey that took three weeks. It was the culmination of four years of construction, including six months of design planning.
“It was an idea that really stood out and that we thought was quite special,”
