Hi Sea is a floating hotel located in the sea near Dongshan Island, Fujian, China, 500 meters from the coastline. The 500 square meter structure contains a living room, three guest rooms and a kitchen, and only one group of guests is received at a time. Large foldable glass walls open the interior to the seascape, and warm wood tones set the tone inside. The roof uses corrosion-resistant materials common in airport terminals and yachts, and the outdoor deck is made of weather-resistant flooring. Buoyancy was calculated using fish raft construction technology.
