Built entirely off-site, in Singapore,
this undersea restaurant in the Maldives was based on the success of
the National Centre Aquarium's design in Kuala Lumpur. It proved to be
more of a pain to construct than first thought, with many recalculations
to check centers of gravity, weight distributions and tidal flows. If
this small design required so much fiddling before it became a reality,
how many complications must be occurring with the larger resorts?
Sitting
5m below sea level, the restaurant is able to serve 12 people at one
sitting. Diners can sit back and enjoy watching life beyond the 5m wide
viewing arch, which is made from acrylic and silicone sealed.
