About Discussions Projects58 Journals11 Competitions4

Underwater habitats are enclosed living or working environments placed below the water line, where pressure, salinity, light limits and access to air and power shape every design decision. Architects working in this area draw on submarine engineering, marine biology and the reuse of existing offshore infrastructure.

Community work here ranges from adapting decommissioned oil rigs and continental shelf structures into habitats, to biomimetic forms that move, glow or respond to marine life such as whale migration. Several projects also explore reconfigurable interiors and habitats that blend into the sea environment.

AMIDST THE TEMPEST - Re-purposing Defunct Offshore Rigs

Offshore construction is merely looked at as "conquests" - advancement of only the human ego, exploitation of the seas with no regard for its inhabitants. Considering the large number of defunct offshore rigs that exist, intent of this design is to serve as a prototype, enabling these infrastructures to better serve the seas while also benefiting humans.

AQUADAPT

Aquadapt is an underwater habitat project which focuses mainly on its adaptability of function to match the current needs of its inhabitants. The project also aims to guarantee a space where its residents will feel safe underwater and will be able to create modern communities, living together and cooperating.

NARWALL-diploma project

(graduate/specialist MARKHI 2015 - Moscow Architectural Institute) The idea was to create a recreational complex with an artificial environment, isolated from the harsh conditions of the Arctic. My project is a mini city. A fully Autonomous system, but at the same time created all the conditions for normal human habitation.

wireless CORALPODS

Introducing wireless CORALPODS with no cables attached to the sea floor, mainland or anywhere else. Coralpods believe in a circular exchange with the existing marine ecosystem while providing an inclusive habitat. Both terrestrial (humans) and marine species can inhabit it.

"Heart of the Ocean"

The main idea of the project is to combine the normally understood building structure with the power of the element into a kinetic hybrid. It aims to symbolize synergy between human activity and ocean power. The effect of this combination are two large oceanic waterfalls which appear flooding the existing object.

CONTINENTAL SHELF RECYCLING HABITAT

The project idea was to create a habitat underwater along a sinkhole where waste material was thrown. Using the unique condition of the site, the habitat incorporate not only the amenities to reside underwater but a recycling station habitat to clean and reuse waste materials.

The Ocean Hive

The base of The Ocean Hive starts with just 20 units. It starts to expand as it collects garbage from the ocean, processes it with heat of the sun, uses it for 3d-print. According to the colony needs, it has the capacity to grow as much as the physical conditions allow. Gathering of units with emergency compartments below them make up a Hive.
