Sky Pool, London

[1] The structure that forms the pool was fabricated in the United States, in Colorado, by acrylic engineers Reynolds Polymer, Inc., and shipped from Texas in a three-week journey.

[6] The architecture critic Oliver Wainwright, writing in The Guardian, described the pool as a "miraculous world first" and a "liquid blue block suspended against the sky" that had the "gravity-defying quality" of a painting by René Magritte.

[4] Jessica Cherner, writing in Architectural Digest, felt that the transparency of the pool "mak[es] it appear like a rectangular glass box floating in mid-air".

It’s easy to imagine an excessively, aggressively exclusionary amenity becoming a focal point for anger over London’s extreme income inequality and affordable housing, at a time when activism on these topics is growing more intense".

[7] Capps described the pool as an "impossibly wondrous amenity" and a "jewel in plain sight of all but out of reach to almost everyone" and the developers have "[dangled] a potent symbol of inequality over all of London's heads".

[7] Writing for the New Statesman, Anoosh Chakelian felt the pool was a "compelling visible symbol of the housing inequality and uneven housebuilding rampant in the capital".
