This time, they have created a luxurious residence, namely a villa that will become its own distinct area. The residence, named the "floating seahorse," is a three-level structure that floats and even submerges on one of its levels. Naturally, having an underwater space provides breathtaking views of the marine ecosystem, both while sleeping and awake.

This project is named the floating seahorse because, in addition to creating a luxurious and comfortable residence on the water, the building is designed with an artificial coral reef beneath it. This is done as a conservation effort for seahorses, which are endangered. The coral reef provides a safe habitat for these marine creatures to live and reproduce.

The residence consists of three levels: one above the water surface, a top deck, and a level below the water surface. The above-water level functions as a gathering space with an open layout, featuring a living room, dining area, kitchen, and an indoor bathroom. The outdoor deck on this level includes sunbathing and playing areas with a trampoline over the seawater. There's also a climbing staircase for descending below the water.

Additionally, there's a shower area on this deck. The edges are equipped with glass railings for safety and comfort, allowing people on the upper level to see the level below.

The Floating Seahorse residence area covers 4,000 square meters and includes 60 units, all of which have already been sold. The main island of this area is connected to the residences via floating roads. This area is called "The Heart of Europe" because it is represented by six separate islands designed to illustrate various European countries.
