World’s Highest Glass Bottomed Pool In Texas, The USA
The world’s highest glass-bottomed pool is built at the rooftop of Market Square Tower, a luxury apartment in Houston, Texas. This gorgeous pool built on the building’s rooftop has a section of it that juts out over the edge of the building and has a glass bottom. Hanging off the 40th floor of the apartment building in downtown Houston, this cantilevered glass-bottomed infinity pool is just perfect for daredevils to challenge their swimming skills coupled with their love for heights.
When people wade around this pool, they can just look down and enjoy the adrenaline rushing sensation of walking above the city (500 feet from above). Yes, you definitely feel like you’re on top of the world. This pool often creates waves on Instagram. There’s a thrilling clip of a person who walked across bare feet along the pool’s 8-inch thick plexiglass bottom, which sits out 10 feet from the side of Market Square Tower. It’s known for being the tallest pool in Texas, the only glass-bottomed pool in Houston and the highest glass-bottomed pool in the world.
Designed by Kudela & Weinheimer Landscape Architects, this breathtaking glad bottomed pool is the centrepiece of a wraparound rooftop terrace, offering views of the Buffalo Bayou Park. It opened in October 2016, but unfortunately, it isn’t open to the general public. If you want to swim here and get a lovely view of the city, you might have to befriend a resident of this luxury apartment. Apart from this infinity pool, there’s another second resort-style pool located on a lower terrace. Residents who aren’t too interested to swim in the glass-bottomed pool can swim here instead. While not everyone can swim here, many of us are just enthralled to have a glimpse of this gorgeous pool, which is truly one of a kind!
