Singapore's CapitaLand construction company in 2012 started the
construction of the most expensive residential complex in Singapore Sky
Habitat. The snow-white 38-story skyscraper located on lush on 506
apartments planned to be completed in 2016. Luxury condominium project
to be located in the suburbs of Bichat, by the famous architect Moshe
Safdie, developed for him an impressive stage structure. 18 more images after the break...
The two buildings will be connected by Sky Habitat transitions three
bridges, two of which will serve as a kind of parks, and the top is a
large swimming pool.
Among the priorities of the project the green at all levels of the
building, the optimal orientation to the sun, a good natural ventilation
of buildings and scenic views.
Do not forget about the architect and the area adjacent to the complex,
which will be located park, swimming pools, sports and play areas.
Despite the fact that Sky Habitat are just beginning to build and look
at it only through computer graphics, most of the apartments are already
sold out. The cost of a three-room apartment here is about 2 million
Singapore dollars ($ 1.56 million)
Swimmers braving a length of this pool will need a real head for heights - seeing as it's a staggering 38 storeys high.
The infinity pool will dramatically connect Sky Habitat Singapore's two towers once the ambitious project is completed in 2016.
With 509 apartments, the Moshe Safdie-designed development 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. Wong Heang Fine, CEO of CapitaLand
Residential Singapore which is developing the site, said: 'With Sky
Habitat, we are creating a habitat for the future; a condominium that is
also a house.
'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.
Safdie is no stranger to creating swimming pools in seemingly strange
places. He also played a key part in designing the £4billio Marina Bay
Sands development, also in Singapore, which has a 150metre pool 55
storeys up.
Worry: Hopefully there will be more health and safety in place around
the pool once it is opened, as in this impression there seems to be no
barrier over the edge
The boat-shaped SkyPark is perched atop the three towers that make up
the world's most expensive hotel. The open-air pools are in stark
contrast to NEMO 33, which with a depth of 33metres is one of the
world's deepest.
The venue, in central Brussels, Belgium, contains 2.5million litres of
non-chlorinated spring water and is usually reserved for scuba drivers
to train in. And it is a tad smaller than the San Alfonso del Mar resort
in Chile, where a quick dip could well turn into a marathon.
The world's largest pool cost $1billion, holds 66million gallons and is so big you can even sail boats on it.

resort shows how its semi-circular artificial beaches and filtered
waters sit right next to the real thing
