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.
Pool with a view: Sky Habitat Singapore's infinity pool will offer stunning vistas for those who dare to enter its waters
High and mighty: The pool will be located on the 38th storey of the Sky Habitat Singapore complex
'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.
Wonder: Sky Habitat Singapore was designed by renowned architect Moshe Safdie and should be completed in 2016

safety in place around the pool once it is opened, as in this impression
there seems to be no barrier over the edge
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.
