An article from Our
Building & Construction / July 2015
Developer Kleindienst Group, a major European real estate
company, is
planning to construct 42 floating properties in Dubai.
Technically
classified as a boat, the ‘Floating Seahorse’ offers an entire
floor of submerged living, providing clear views of marine life beneath the
gentle waters of the Persian Gulf.
Floating Seahorse boats will be moored offshore from the St.
Petersburg and
Main Europe islands, a short boat ride from the coast of
Dubai. The ‘marine
style retreats’ offer a floor space of 1,700 sq. feet [158 sq.
metres]..
A total of 42 properties will be constructed, each comprising
three floors, two
of which are above water level and one of which is below. The
central, sealevel floor will consist of an open-plan living area, fully fitted
kitchen and
dining area, while the upper floor offers an outdoor shower,
mini bar,
kitchenette, informal bed and glass-bottomed Jacuzzi.
The master bedroom and bathroom are fully submerged on the
lower floor, with large windows providing a clear view of the marine life in
the surrounding coral reef.
The boats, which were designed and developed in Dubai, will be
constructed
in partnership with Dutch Docklands. They are claimed to be
more costeffective and more environmentally friendly than the existing man-made
landmasses and offer a more secure investment opportunity.
The new villas will be constructed in local dry docks before
being shipped out and positioned in the water. Work will start on the luxury
floating homes in the second half of this year, with the first villas scheduled
for completion
some time in 2016.
