Pool Balconies?
In case you haven’t heard, these new towers will feature all the luxuries you can dream of. And what’s better than a pool in your balcony to jump in after a long work day?
Architecture at its best, and I absolutely love it even though I’m a bit skeptical. While it is very creative and elegant, I was shocked to learn that it’s being built in India, where poverty and clean water are a serious issue.. Makes you wonder about the real priorities that concern all governments.

A 37-story residential skyscraper in Mumbai, India, called the Aquaria Grande Tower (currently under construction) will have the most awesome feature ever: glass swimming pools where the balconies normally go for some of the apartments.

Those pool-balconies are just fantastic, but I feel sorry for those walking below without an umbrella! Thanks for the post, it’s great!

Anytime! I’m actually wondering about the safety of it? I mean how easy is it for people to fall or jump from the pool? :s
I was wandering the same! The project is really nice and I love the idea, but the pools don’t look safe at all !!
We should wait for reviews after it’s finished!
That would be really cool to have outside your room!
Yes it would be! I mean who doesn’t want one!
I’d use my balcony so much more if I had a pool in its place! Thanks for sharing!

I agree Olga, it would be where I would go every night after putting the kids to sleep! LOL
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Anytime
interesting – I mentioned this post to another blog I read (Little Design Stall) as I thought it might appeal to them.
Thank you, I actually read that blog as well
This would be like heaven. Period.
Those swimming pool balconies are absolutely incredible! I can’t even imagine what the price tag must be on one of those beautiful apartments.
I don’t think that it would be anything that an average person can afford!
