Basically the architect has vision of hotel or spa as we bring to mind the UFO 2.0. but also can be used as a home.
Measuring area of 50 sq m (538 sq ft), it has a raising hatch door for access and visitors find a living area on the ground floor that features a sofa, a minibar, and a window offering views of the sea life below.
There is a circular bed and a bathroom including two hand wash basin and a bath tub on the ground floor. Stairs lead up to a “relaxation area” that provide sitting space to a dozen people on a circular sofa.
The Anthénea’s fiberglass shell can handle an impressive temperature range of -30° C to 40° C (-22° F to 104° F), so should be up to scratch. For electricity needs it has a solar panel system also.
It is equipped with a water cleaning system that turns seawater into drinking water. A wood-burning stove, air-conditioning, and a generator for backup power are also installed. The Anthénea can be used as a hotel, or as a home. Electric thrusters are fitted to provide a rather sedate maximum speed of 5 knots (5.5 mph/9.26 km/h) as standard.
The recently-completed Anthénea model pictured is on the market for US$535,000 located in Brittany, France. Also watch below video.
