Have you ever wanted to have an apartment with a pool… in the ceiling? Well now you can – thanks to Rem Koolhaas, who is developing a new residential tower in New York City.  With a characteristic gesture of willful contrarianism, his design inverts the typical Manhattan tower, stepping outward - not inward - as it rises to create an alarming attention grabbing profile.  Ostensibly, these cantilevers are intended to provide views to a nearby park. 

In reality, I think Rem is just showing off. But the pool is awesome.
