That was followed up with months of hard core research, into site selection, tourist patterns, sea water chemistry and physics and more.
At my jury, the emphasis was on the concepts on which my design was based on, rather than on the design itself.



Another integral part of the design, was the design of various services, selection of materials and technology to protect the building from the corrosive efffects of sea water. Also, in todays world, with everyone trying their best to 'go green', alternative methods of energy were also touched upon.



The ground floor plan, which is at the lowest level, is right on the sea bed. All the rooms,designed int he form of modules, are each independently air-tight. The sea-bed level, due to the presence of plants, is far more inhabited and rich in plant and animal species. Also artificial coral gardens would be 'seeded' to attract more fauna, to the hotel.
The resort is connected to the mainland by a jetty, above the water surface, and a monorail tunnel at the seabed level.

The site section shows the relative depth and distance from the sea shore,off the island of Sentosa.
The detailed section goes ahead to give a better idea about the functionality and vertical stacking of the building. Also depicted are a schematic of the pile foundations that would be necessary to maintain such a structure in place.
The smaller sections show how the tunnel would be constructed in two levels, one for the tourists and consumers, and one for the services.
