The skyline of the City of Joy has been dramatically redefined with the completion of a stunning architectural marvel: Kolkata’s first-ever “hanging” or sky swimming pool. This luxurious amenity, suspended high above the ground, marks a significant moment for the city’s contemporary development and has quickly become a talking point across social media.
The pool is the centerpiece of a magnificent structure known as the ‘Deya’ (meaning ‘Cloud’ in Bengali), a residential floating sky sculpture that connects the twin towers of the Forum Atmosphere luxury residential complex, located near the EM Bypass.
Defying Gravity: The swimming pool is situated within the Deya, which is suspended over 400 feet (approximately 122 meters) in the air, offering residents a truly unparalleled swimming experience with panoramic, 360-degree views of the Kolkata metropolitan area.
Architectural Wonder: The Deya sky bridge spans 5,110 square meters and houses a variety of recreational facilities for the residents, including the infinity-edge pool, a gymnasium, spa, virtual golf, and a jogging track. The structure itself is a feat of engineering, designed to appear like a cloud changing in form and porosity.
While such gravity-defying pools are typically reserved for exclusive resort destinations globally, their arrival in Kolkata signifies a new standard in high-end urban living. The pool offers a serene, elevated escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, reinforcing Kolkata’s position as a hub for sophisticated architecture and luxury real estate.
Images and videos of the stunning pool deck have been circulating widely, drawing attention to this unique addition to Kolkata’s landscape.
