Your underwater home from home - the Jelly-fish 45

Underwater hotels have been growing in popularity in recent years, with one currently under construction in Dubai. However, floating luxury homes with a floor below sea level for underwater viewing are something totally new to me. That’s the idea behind the Jelly-fish 45 dwelling designed by Giancarlo Zema. The five-storey dwelling is 10 metres high with a diameter of over 15 metres at its maximum, and it can accommodate 6 to 8 people. You want one, did you say? That’ll be $2.5 million, please.
Wow, that looks so cool. I hadn’t heard of the underwater hotels (What can I say? We don’t have them out here in Spokane :P), so those sound neat too.
I don’t think I could quite afford the $2.5 million price tag on a floating home with a floor beneath the water (who cleans the outside of those windows anyway?), but maybe I’ll be able to find one available for a weekend as a vacation rental some day…
