New Eco-Floating Hotel Spins to Generate Energy, Aims at Full Self-Sufficiency 16 Mar 2021, 15:00 UTC ·

As early as 2025, Qatar could be the home of a new floating hotel, a construction like any other that aims to combine supreme luxury and sustainability. Designed by Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS), the Eco-Floating Hotel (that’s the actual name of the project, at least for the time being) presents itself as a man-made island floating off the coast.
It will be connected to the mainland by a long pier, but access to the floating island will also be possible by air and by water since it has both its own helipad and port on surrounding pier extensions. These will serve as accessories to the main area, that of the luxury hotel, which spins in place to generate energy.
Qatar isn't lacking in notable architecture but a new floating hotel would be a head-turning addition to the country. Named the Eco-Floating Hotel, it would rotate in place like a revolving restaurant and boast wind, solar, and tidal sustainability.
When it comes to far-out skyscraper designs, this one takes some beating.
Eye-popping renderings have been unveiled for a 210m (688ft) sci-fi-style New York skyscraper that almost looks like it has been fashioned from Play-Doh, with twisting tube-like structures coiled inside a towering frame.
The organic design has been dreamt-up by Turkish architecture firm Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio, which described the structure as amorphous and having a transparent, ghostly stance in the city skyline .
