The Jelly-fish 45 is a floating dwelling unit for six people, 9 metres
high and 15 metres in diameter. Designed by Giancarlo Zema for UVI, it is suitable for living in sea parks,
atolls, bays and seas rich in flora and fauna. With Jelly-fish 45 people
may live either above or below sea level. The structure is composed
with hull in steel and superstructure in aluminium while the submarine
globe is made of polycarbonate highly resistance. It consists of five
levels connected by a spiral staircase. The top level is 5.6 metres
above sea level and is intended as a study room. The one at 3.5 metres
above sea level is the night-time area with bathrooms while at 1.4
metres is the day-time area with a kitchen and bathrooms. The level at
0.8 metres above sea line is semisubmerged and is designed to house the
guest rooms, bathrooms and technical spaces. The submarine world become
available to one and all in the globe at 3.00 mt below sea level. The
shape of Jelly-fish 45 is the result of observing jellyfishes that
animate our seas with their light floating bodies.
