The Manta Underwater Room / Genberg Underwater Hotels. Architects: Genberg Underwater Hotels Location: Pemba Island, Tanzania Year: 2013 Photographs: Jesper Anhede From the architect.
Imagine yourself encapsulated within a turquoise blue bubble, watching shoals of reef fish swimming lazily by – sometimes in three or four layers of different species above the reef floor. This is the heart-stopping experience that awaits you in the underwater room. The floating structure, Swedish engineered, provides three levels, those above the water clad in local hardwood, and each an experience in itself. The landing deck, at sea level, has a lounge area and bathroom facility. Then downstairs - the magical feeling of lying on a soft double bed surrounded by panes of glass affording almost 360 degrees viewing – watching the shoals of reef fish and exquisite, often rarely seen individuals visiting your windows.

For the interior, we used logs of cedar tree with some remained astringent skin. Endémico Resguardo Silvestre Necessary #098. Se sognate un campeggio di lusso, l'Endémico Resguardo Silvestre potrebbe fare al caso vostro.
È un hotel formato da 20 singole casette di 20 mq disseminate in un parco enorme. Siamo in Messico, Baja California, nella Valle de Guadalupe, la famosa Ruta del Vino. Qui lo studio di architettura Gracia Studio ha progettato una struttura basandosi su un principio semplice: toccare il meno possibile il terreno circostante, per rispettare il più possibile la natura. La disponibilità di acciaio del committente, il Grupo Habita, ha caratterizzato il progetto: strutture sollevate dal terreno, fatte e rivestite di acciaio, che cambiano colore con il passare del tempo e aggiungono armonia all'interazione tra l'edificio e l'ambiente. (via Dezeen) If you’re dreaming of a luxury campsite, then the Endémico Resguardo Silvestre could be right up your street. Roberta Mutti. KATIKIES HOTEL. Endémico Resguardo Silvestre. Zwanzig Räume auf je zwanzig Quadratmetern verteilen sich über den Berghang in ‘Mexikos Weinland’.
Die kleinen aber feinen Wohnboxen kann man als Feriendomizil mieten. Die Grundidee der Architekten Gracia Studio war, die umliegende Natur weitgehend unberührt zu lassen und sie nicht durch einen massiven Hotelkomplex in ihrer rauen Schönheit zu stören. Der verwendete Stahl verändert mit der Zeit seine Farbe und passt sich harmonisch an seine Umgebung an. Auch wurde beim Bau viel Holz verwendet, um das Gefühl eines luxuriösen Campinghauses zu suggerieren. Der Gast soll sich in Kontakt mit der Natur fühlen und gleichzeitig seine Grundbedürfnisse versorgt wissen. All images © Gracia Studio | Via: Home DSGN. Yunak Elveri – Cappadocia Cave Hotel. The hotel complex Yunak Elveri is located in the Turkish Cappadocia.

The 30 rooms have a balcony allowing to appreciate the surroundings while the dwelling, decorated with traditional Ottoman pieces, conceals simplicity and comfort. The hotel offers modern facilities and will so ensure a stay both peaceful and touristic.
Inntel Hotel Zaandam / WAM. AD Classics: Museumotel / Pascal Hausermann. Architects: Pascal Hausermann Location: France Text: Mariana Timony Photographs: Courtesy of Hausermann The Museumotel is an unusual hotel to say the least. The group of white, round structures that make up the guest houses look like space pods crossed with hobbit holes, plopped down in the wooded landscape of northeastern France. The interiors are even more spacey: huge circular windows, dripping support columns, curving staircases, and arched doorways are common features. But while the design of these bubble houses is fascinating and unique, the story behind the Museumotel is even more so. Early advertisements for the Motel de l’Eau Vive In 1965, hotelier M.
