40 stories above the city of Houston, Texas, such a building exists. The sky pool at the Market Square Tower seemed the perfect place for developers to try this out.

If you've not got a head for heights, then keep to your local council baths. In fact, they're probably more dangerous with the amount of plasters floating around there.
For those who want a taste of the Rockstar lifestyle, then this is the perfect place to live the dream.
A report in the Houston Chronicle says that the pool, which extends 10feet (3m) away from the building, uses an 8-inch thick plexiglass bottom, meaning you can feel safe floating in virtual air while looking down on the street below.
Market Square Tower describes itself as 'a new level of luxury' has plenty to cater for. It has various levels dedicated to outrageous living.
These include: An outdoor kitchen and fire pit, games room, a poker suite, indoor basketball court, golf simulator, movie theatre, ballroom, and much more.
According to their website, a penthouse retails for $13,200 (around £10,500) although it's unclear if that's for a night, weekend, week, or year (although, let's be honest, it won't be the latter).
