马尔代夫康莱德酒店的Muraka,海底住宅是一个两层结构,包括海平面以上的空间和一个为在海面下睡觉而设计的海底套房。海底套房有一个特大号的卧室、生活区、浴室和步入式衣橱。海底卧室层位于海平面以下5米(16.4英尺),为周围的海洋环境提供了不间断的视野,它拥有印度洋错综复杂的海洋生物的奇迹的全景图。

The Muraka at Conrad Maldives, the undersea residence is a two-level structure consisting of space above the sea level and an undersea suite designed for sleeping under the ocean’s surface. The undersea suite features a king-size bedroom, living area, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The undersea bedroom floor level sits five meters (16.4 feet) below sea level, providing uninterrupted views of the surrounding marine environment, which boasts panoramic views of the wonders of the Indian Ocean’s intricate marine life.

一半以上的墙壁和天花板表面覆盖着7英寸厚的透明亚克力,在视觉上连接着外部和套房。水下空间占地100平方米,可通过螺旋楼梯和电梯从水上客厅进入。为了尽量减少沉重的钢铁和混凝土的不可避免的外观,大部分的内部空间都使用了皮革装饰,地板上铺设了地毯,有了这些,声音的混响也被降到最低。

More than half of the wall and ceiling surface is covered with 7” thick clear acrylic to visually connect the outside and the suite. The underwater spaces span 100 square meters and are accessed through the spiral staircase and an elevator from an overwater living room. In order to minimize the inevitable appearance of heavy steel and concrete, the majority of the interior spaces are upholstered with leather, and the floor is covered with carpet, with which, sound reverberation is also minimized.

室内设计和许多细节装饰的灵感来自于飞机上的豪华客舱。内部的每一个部分都经过仔细测量、调制、模拟和安装。尽管这是该地区唯一的水下卧室,但自动隐私屏幕被整合到所有的窗户中,并与照明系统一起用平板电脑控制,与豪华飞机机舱中的照明系统类似。

The interior design and much detailing of finishes were inspired by airplane luxury cabins. Every part of the interior was carefully measured, modulated, mocked up, and installed. Despite the fact that this is the only underwater bedroom in the region, automated privacy screens are integrated into all windows and controlled with a tablet in conjunction with a lighting system, similar to ones in luxury airplane cabins.

马尔代夫以其原始的海滩和海洋而闻名。海洋的景色令人叹为观止,但这只是马尔代夫美景的一半。另一半存在于水下。有一个水下生态系统,值得向游客展示,而不用潜入海中。创建安全的地方,让人们可以平静地观察海洋生物,将有助于引起人们对海洋正在发生的事情的关注,认识到变化,并得到启发。

The Maldives is known for its pristine beach and sea. The views of the ocean are breathtaking, but that’s only half of the Maldivian beauty. The other half exists underwater. There is an underwater ecosystem that is worth showing to the visitors without diving in the sea. Creating safe places where people can calmly observe marine life would help draw attention to what is happening to the sea, recognize the changes, and get inspired.
