TO New York The Construction of + poolone floating swimming pool unique in its kind, designed to combine sports and environmental regeneration. The infrastructure will be positioned in the waters of theEast Riverat the height of the Pier 35and promises to return to the river cleaner water than that taken.
Natural filtration and modular design
The heart of the project is a patented non -chemical filtration system which allows you to directly use river water for bathing. The water will be treated and then reimed in the river in better conditions. It is estimated that the swimming pool, once in full speed, will be able to filter up to 3.8 million liters per daycontributing to the health of the river ecosystem.
The structure will be of 840 square metersin the shape of a “+” symbol, and it will be modular and reconfigurable: it will be able to host Free swimming, courses for children, relaxation areas and water sports. Will be accessible through a Passerella connected to the shoremaking it integrated into the urban fabric.

A first test before opening
Before the complete realization, a 185 square meters prototypealready built in Mississippi at the Bollinger construction sites. The model will be transported by sea up to New York, where he will be examined by the health authorities in May 2026.
A return to the past with the gaze to the future
+ Pool also represents a historical call: between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, New York counted numerous Public floating bathroomsused by most of the population. With the passage of time, pollution has made those structures impractical, but today, with new technologies and a sustainable vision, we try to recover that tradition in a modern key. A way to reconnect with the river symbol of the city, just as it is happening in Paris and how the city council hopes to happen in Rome.
