The underwater level features a master bedroom and floor-to-ceiling windows to provide an uninterrupted view of the deep ocean. Middle level offers a sun deck, indoor living space, kitchen, and dinning room. On the uppermost deck, there is another sundeck, glass-bottomed Jacuzzi, and minibar.

From underwater master bedroom, one can enjoy clear view of Gulf waters and coral reefs. However, maintenance of underwater level will be a challenging task. The outer surface of the master bedroom will require regular cleaning, and what you see from your bedroom will depend primarily on how clean the ocean water is.

From ecological perspective, humans have begun to sabotage marine habitat. It’s a interference with marine ecology. Therefore, Kleindienst Group has committed to create artificial coral reef beneath its luxury retreats. Josef Kleindienst, CEO of the company says, “[It] will be a protected area in which seahorses can safely live and breed.”
