Aquatic Living

Forget Architecture Digest in the future, Aquatictecture might be where it’s at. By the end of this year, Underwater Vehicles, Inc. of Vancouver, B.C. will launch the Trilobis 65. Part houseboat, part submersible, this four level vessel will extend 10 feet above as well as 10 feet below the surface. Along with a bridge, living and sleeping quarters, the Trilobis also sports an underwater observation bulb offering an unobstructed, 360 degree view of it’s passengers underwater surroundings.

Special marinas are also being planned allowing colonies to dock together into “water-based villages”.

The floating homes starting price?

$4 million

If the Trilobis isn't to your liking there's the Jellyfish Habitat and the Neptus 60 Cliff Habitat. Very Star-Trekkie for those who need to be one with the water.
