Sky Pool, Houston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
29°45′46.4″N 95°21′48.4″W / 29.762889°N 95.363444°W Sky Pool is a swimming pool in Houston, Texas, United States. Constructed on top (42nd floor) of the Market Square Tower apartment complex,[1] it is billed as the "tallest" pool in Texas.[2] The pool extends out 10 feet (3 m) past the building into the air; this portion is made of 8-inch (20 cm) thick plexiglas so swimmers can view the city below from 500 feet (150 m) above the ground.[3][4] It is supported by two concrete cantilevers, one on each side.[3] The tower and pool, finished in November 2016, were designed by Jackson and Ryan Architects.[5]
