Hong Kong is a highly dense city that makes building large municipal pools on narrow strips of land difficult. Terry Farrell and Partners met this challenge head on with this spaceship-shaped building that opened along Victoria Harbour in February; at $671 million HK it stands out as Asia’s largest public pool.

Families also frequent this destination pool.
