Floating above and accessed by elevator is a cluster of floating buildings, including a warm water outdoor spa, the central entrance lounge, docking space for a yacht and an enclosed building for your Triton submarine as well as space for a wide array of water toys.<br /><br />Access to the underwater home is simplest from a pier that connects the shore to the residence’s access trunk by a ramp. The interior of the H2OME is then available by elevator, or by a circular stairway. Umbilicals for water, sewage, communications and electricity are connected to the pier and run to shore.<br /><br />And, let’s not forget the floating helicopter landing pad:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kbMs1vMnjeJWnBlIXCLQijufwGFz99CIRBfFvZp7XEeoPkEDeBo-IKgQ2t8Zj6vkDpzj5e1YFoN-UgXHapgFxc52CdXDqrB7eQxCUgWHj7qtME3_qu9Ws2qxM14mSdblyy9ykuw38Go/s1600-h/USSStructures_Products_Page_15_Image_0004.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325756907699047730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kbMs1vMnjeJWnBlIXCLQijufwGFz99CIRBfFvZp7XEeoPkEDeBo-IKgQ2t8Zj6vkDpzj5e1YFoN-UgXHapgFxc52CdXDqrB7eQxCUgWHj7qtME3_qu9Ws2qxM14mSdblyy9ykuw38Go/s400/USSStructures_Products_Page_15_Image_0004.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 148px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbcculnQpZ7NGR1tfWIAVqgFgxW7859gBtLImLN2cYHKmkCV0ETgs-kAMBePTke3_b5oupYRqFqCtp0I0bFtqBsVwlvSiP-78cJRQchEXso1J7T_aKphun68qv6AQQAq-Z9kTJfrBV4k/s1600-h/USSStructures_Products_Page_07_Image_0003.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325744733115633730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbcculnQpZ7NGR1tfWIAVqgFgxW7859gBtLImLN2cYHKmkCV0ETgs-kAMBePTke3_b5oupYRqFqCtp0I0bFtqBsVwlvSiP-78cJRQchEXso1J7T_aKphun68qv6AQQAq-Z9kTJfrBV4k/s400/USSStructures_Products_Page_07_Image_0003.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 148px;" /></a><br /><br /><br />This 3600 square foot, two-story structure takes incredible luxury and fabulous viewing to the sea-floor.

Also included is a gourmet kitchen with adjacent wine cellar, a formal dining area, a library lounge, a bar, private office space, a living room with flat screen television, a half bathroom and several discrete seating areas where one can enjoy the different views of the undersea world. The layout can be structured to the client’s requirements and the details here are only proposed for illustrative purposes.<br /><br />Your H2OME even comes complete with push-button fish feeders so that you and your guests can feed the fish as well as underwater lights to light up the sea floor for a limited period of time each evening.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bedroom:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngjFn-u7gH6ZcaCMV0AuwxVqxOBXKM_cp8urXHZWnzwXMQycwXJkpRJ-7FRSd5ULbCkdcJDobRSmtaWIU1gSFJc5lZU6DXWQXdNEzaZ2QoKS0BQlcr08f1dtb-4oqfO_DRVvSF1geYe61/s1600/bedroom+view1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658973790499490194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhngjFn-u7gH6ZcaCMV0AuwxVqxOBXKM_cp8urXHZWnzwXMQycwXJkpRJ-7FRSd5ULbCkdcJDobRSmtaWIU1gSFJc5lZU6DXWQXdNEzaZ2QoKS0BQlcr08f1dtb-4oqfO_DRVvSF1geYe61/s400/bedroom+view1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 327px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dining room:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZHFpCrSaPsvkUR6mguOjfhfaIrQVZPXX0_JrLR-OAc6boWdt15G9FrfKBtqMRFZutNl3ov-CKWrh0A_yTDSjTZH8fRFpeeWnuHndbXAYQ-edkDp-dTVw86vUPzsgs9CwGc2d_wxuslZk/s1600-h/dining-room.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325737278015641602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZHFpCrSaPsvkUR6mguOjfhfaIrQVZPXX0_JrLR-OAc6boWdt15G9FrfKBtqMRFZutNl3ov-CKWrh0A_yTDSjTZH8fRFpeeWnuHndbXAYQ-edkDp-dTVw86vUPzsgs9CwGc2d_wxuslZk/s400/dining-room.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 396px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The layout:</span><br />The H2OME is installed cantilevered on piling just above the sea floor.

They also produce the acrylic panels to our specifications by post-processing thermoforming and annealing. They then transport all components to a floating drydock for assembly and testing. The interior is ordered from a supplier specializing in 5-star hotel interiors and superyacht interiors. This firm fits and assembles the interior components and then packs them in containers and ships the components to us where they do the installation.<br /><br />The completed structure is floated off the drydock and is then picked up by a semi-submersible heavy lift ship which transports the H2OME to the site. Previously, piles have been driven into the sea floor and the H2OME is floated into place, keyed to the piles and then ballasted for a slow descent toward the sea floor where it is then bolted to the piling several inches above the sea bottom. The piling tops are cut off and the umbilical cables run to the access pier and connected. In this way, your undersea residence is available for your use only 48 hours after delivery.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Most of the engineering detail on the Poseidon Undersea Resort and the H2OME is proprietary to the company.

Now I have found <a href="http://www.aquadomi.dk/page.asp?objectid=170&zcs=256">AquaDomi</a>, a modular system of floating houses. Although the images are computer generated, apparently these are available and for sale, not prototypes.<br /><br />AquaDomi has built cafes and restaurants using these design principles.<br />They describe themselves on their own site below (from the English version):<br /><i>AquaDomi is the houseboat of the future, because it is module based and therefore gives the owner the possibility to create his own house, exactly the way he wants.<br />It is the goal of AquaDomi to deliver a unique and individual design, which fulfils the wishes and demands of both present and future.</i><br /><br />The Noma is their newest line of floating houses ...<br />The Noma series is available in three models: 64 sq.m., 96 sq.m. et 160 sq.m.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9B2ijqXmGmNb_UCQb0D7Wf89F3d8hHZ7Le2KIEuXi88qW3Q_4PDAmuY3AfZkqBigvsZ4lmxOmV2njOZryuPCl99blRD1VzdqmIZ8SlKib1xnsls5o01swi9FzTCv2vkdM3hm3j_4-T_x/s1600-h/FamilyNoma-01x500.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5105065900738811762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9B2ijqXmGmNb_UCQb0D7Wf89F3d8hHZ7Le2KIEuXi88qW3Q_4PDAmuY3AfZkqBigvsZ4lmxOmV2njOZryuPCl99blRD1VzdqmIZ8SlKib1xnsls5o01swi9FzTCv2vkdM3hm3j_4-T_x/s400/FamilyNoma-01x500.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 397px;" /></a><br /><br />The houseboats have a floor-to-ceiling height of 300/250 cm or 250/240 cm. Family Noma is the largest in the series. The Family Noma is ideal for a family with children or alternatively two families that wish to live together. The houseboat can also be used as a combined home and office. Family Noma is spacious and has many terraces. It is family-friendly for those who would like to live close to the water. The access to the houseboat goes through the terrace/court.<br /><br />The two bedrooms each have an area of 16 sq.m. and are equipped with wardrobes. Each bedroom has its own terrace that is accessed through sliding doors. The kitchen is available in many colours and variations. It is centrally placed. AquaDomi offers a large variety of light, well-arranged quality kitchens with all modern equipment. The dining room and living room are connected to the kitchen and the arrangement offers many possibilities. The living rooms with large panoramic windows open to the smallest terrace, which is partly covered. There are two wonderful bathrooms with shower and two technical rooms for the technical installations. The total area of the house is 120 sq.m. The surface of the terraces is 4 x 8 sq.m. and 1 x 12 sq.m.<br /><br />Model A160HB01 Family Noma.<br />The model is designed by Teodor Mikkelsen, Denmark.<br />The construction is based on AquaDomi's modular system.<br /><br />AquaDomi concept as worded by them:<br />We have tried with AquaDomi to integrate a number of contrasts in one concept in order to unite the best of both worlds. It is a floating residence that combines the comfort and the spaciousness of the house with the boat’s location and mobility.
