Dubai owns stunning building such as  ?Burj Khalifa? and ?Princess Tower?, but unlike the grandiose towers, the latest impressive building not rise in the air, but dive in the depth of the ocean. Four kilometers from the coast of Dubai there will be luxury villa ?Floating Seahorse? with three levels and the bottom is fully immersed in water. The huge 25 square meters windows from the bedroom and the bathroom are providing a spectacular view of the coral reef and the underwater world .

Only nine and half inches thick, the windows could not be made of glass because it does not withstand the water pressure. Looking for solution, the architects have found inspiration in submarines and aquariums and used acrylic. At the sea level are located fully equipped kitchen and spacious living room. When the glass façade is open, the terrace becomes an extension of the living room. The highest level is the perfect place for relaxing or dinning at fresh air. It is equipped with bed, mini bar, kitchen and Jacuzzi with glass bottom.
Over 200 professionals are included in the project and it is planned the construction to be completed in 2017.The largest part of the floating villa will be located near the artificial island of St Petersburg in the shape of heart whose construction is in progress. Inspired by Maldives , the island will be surrounded by these villas.
