Underwater hotel in China

The government of China has started the implementation of the program on utilization of developed and flooded opencasts. As it has already become known, hotel complex in province Songjiang (near to Shanghai) is to become the pilot underwater project.
The idea of Atkins Company, which has won the international tender for development of the half-flooded opencast and adjoining territory, provides the construction of the 4 floor complex. Two top floors of the complex would look as tower on a surface, and two bottom ones, including inhabited room-numbers and restaurant, are to be under the water. Lodgers should not consider through windows of hotel muddy waters opencast - the water will please with the cleanliness, and the huge aquarium will be built near to hotel.
The complex will have 400 room-numbers. Each room-number can brag of unusual underwater windows with a kind on the fantastic alive underwater world - an aquarium, or a magnificent panorama of the surrounding nature accessible to lodgers of the top floors.
The facade of the basic building of the hotel, made of glass and steel, will be decorated with waterfalls. The infrastructure of a complex will have all necessary for rest and business meetings, including a conference hall for 1000 people. The idea of environment protection became a basis not only for unusual design of the buildings, entered into a landscape, but also, for a technical stuffing - a part of the electric power, necessary for hotel,  will be gained from solar sources.
