A city known for its spectacular man-made projects and opulent architecture, Dubai has done it once again with this project. If you thought the palm islands was a stunning achievement, FYI islands made from scratch, then this undergoing project called “Floating Seahorses” by the Kleindienst Group will sweep you off your feet. The Floating Seahorses is a group of stationery villas off the coast of Dubai. The Villas are a part of the ‘Heart Of Europe’ project, which itself is a just a small section of the colossal project called the “World”, which is a man-made archipelago in the shape of the globe and covering an expanse of two and half kilometers on the sea just off the coast of Dubai. The project was stalled due to the financial crisis in 2008 but it is now all set to be completed by 2017. If you thought you have seen it the everything about the floating boat from just what’s above the surface, dive in and be astonished with the new age architecture.

To start with, as already mentioned, the off the coast Villas are called ‘Floating Seahorses’, an initiative started by the Kleindienst Group as part of the ‘Heart of Europe’ artificial island villas.

The project is not just about making the uber rich feel at ease but more importantly and thankfully is aimed at the sustenance of endangered marine species, with the seahorse being one of them. The developers have created artificial coral reefs to lure marine life towards the villas where they can safely live and breed.

The floating villa has three levels. The middle or sea level deck that is equipped with a spa is covered on all sides by steamed glass, the upper deck and the lower or submerged master bedroom gives you a limitless view of the marine life through its complete glass walls.

These luxury stationery boats are priced at $1.8 million (USD) and out of the 42 villas that have been built, already 35 have been sold.

The homes are expected to be inhabited by the wealthy by 2017 but the good news is that it is already been made a home by the marine life.

If you have got the money, be a part of this lavish lifestyle that is truly one of the most spectacular man-made designs and redefines architecture for years to come.
