This is still on the drawing board, but even if its just a plan for now, one can’t help but gawk at the sheer elaborateness of this Amphibious Resort conceptualized by Italian architectural firm Giancarlo Zema Design Group (GZDG). Here’s the description of the floating resort from Gizmag:
Amphibious 1000 is a US$500 million semi-submerged resort project planned for a protected marine area on the coast of Qatar. Reflecting its name, the resort is like a large aquatic creature stretching out into the sea. Divided into two sections of land and sea, the project includes residential buildings, offices, a central marine park, floating walkways and underwater marine galleries that all form a semi-circle around the central tower, which hosts a panoramic restaurant.
This is totally out of this world, but I guess the rich are getting tired of conventional luxuries. Hahaha. I know while the commoner me is cracking my head worrying about roadside assistance, well, they are worrying how to best enjoy semi-submerged luxuries. That’s life.Heh. This resort plan features a lot of superb perks and I’m pretty much stoked about its 80 floating suites called “Jelly-fish,” which feature underwater viewing decks looking out upon an artificial reef bed. How cool can that be? You get to see the marine life without actually diving. Would work for me. Lol.
Anyway, this is definitely a ‘dream’project. Would it push through? That we don’t know.
