According to The Verge, developers in London are working on building a 25-meter-long swimming pool suspended 10 stories above ground.

The transparent pool is reportedly being built between two blocks of luxury flats.

The pool at Embassy Gardens will reportedly allow residents to swim between the development’s roof-top bar, spa and orangery.

Prices for apartments and penthouses in the complex start at $942,572, according to The Verge.
