SeaScape is a floating villa concept from BMT Asia Pacific, unveiled in 2015, with a 4 metre round underwater bedroom, a modular triangular pontoon base and units that start at about 700 square feet. As far as we can tell it remains a concept: BMT said it was seeking a commission to build it, and we found no report of a completed villa.

What is the SeaScape floating villa?
BMT Asia Pacific developed SeaScape as a luxury floating villa for calm waters near the coast. It is moved to wherever you want to go, and the company hopes millionaires and hotels will adopt it as an alternative to the mega yacht, because a villa offers views of the underwater world that a yacht does not.
How does the design work?
The villa is triangular so extra real estate can be added in 700-square-foot units, with options such as internal pools and sun decks. Each villa connects edge to edge with another, producing a number of possible arrangements, and a villa can stand alone or form part of a larger complex. A 4 metre diameter cylindrical room in the centre gives the underwater bedroom, with views of wildlife swimming nearby. Two-floor versions are also available to accommodate families.
Pre-fabricated parts fit into standard shipping containers, which allows simpler and more cost-effective construction. Hotels could use the villas to create mini resorts.
‘Our new series of floating villas demonstrates that it is possible to offer exceptional luxury through a simple, yet elegant modular design,’ said Richard Colwill, Managing Director of BMT Asia Pacific.
‘In the Hotel & Tourism space we know we need to offer not only a unique experience, but also competitive costs and feasible deployment and operation,’
‘A key feature of SeaScape is a superb underwater bedroom,’ the firm says.
Mr Colwill comments: ‘We are very pleased to be introducing SeaScape to the luxury resort market.
‘This addition to BMT’s Floating Villas portfolio offers even more options and flexibility to our customers to develop an unforgettable holiday experience for their guests.’
Will SeaScape ever be built?
We found no report of a completed SeaScape villa. BMT introduced the earlier Sea-Suite concept in 2013 and evolved the design in part to solve the logistics of shipping and installing at remote sites. Without a client and funding, concepts like this often stay on paper, so treat any booking offers with caution.
