Every apartment in this honeycomb-style building has a private pool on its balcony
Located in the Albany luxury resort community in Nassau, Bahamas, the Honeycomb building will be eight stories tall.
Construction started in 2014, and the building is nearly complete. Joining three other luxury residences planned in the area, the Honeycomb will overlook a yacht marina.
Designing glass-fronted balconies that could support the weight of pool water was no small feat, says William R. O'Donnell, the managing principal at DesSimone Consulting Engineers, which helped create the balconies' structure.
In each balcony, two 13-inch, reinforced concrete slabs slant downward, fully supporting the weight of the 4-foot-deep pools, he says.
Pump lines run underneath each unit's kitchen, connecting the pools to filtration systems.
"You can sit there almost as if it is an outdoor living room," the BIG project team said in a statement.
The 175,000-square-foot building will feature 34 huge units, each of which will have a living room, dining room, open kitchen, and two to seven bedrooms.
For those who can afford the apartments' price tags, it doesn't get more luxurious than this.
