Diving Hotel

Tiarch Studio / Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering

The Diving Hotel reimagines hospitality in the U.S. Virgin Islands, transforming the growing popularity of diving into an experience that benefits both guests and the marine environment.

Through the cultivation of fish and sea urchins and the use of Biorock technology, the hotel’s seabed structures are designed to foster an underwater coral forest and thriving marine ecosystem. Above-water and submerged guest rooms provide direct access to diverse dive routes, transforming diving from observation into a journey through a living sculpture park while supporting coastal protection and marine restoration.
