Gives an idea of concept, designing and planning of Ark Hotel, China

1. ARK HOTEL, CHINA
Ark Hotel China is Floating Hotel Unique in the World
The floating hotel is made of a durable transparent foil, not glass.
Ark hotel China (arc hotel) is one of amazing floating hotels in the world and its structure is so ecological and a
wonder of engineering. Ark Hotel Unique dome-shaped is constructed with wooden arches, steel cables and a
self-cleaning plastic layer instead of glass. The hotel with 151,000 square feet of living space would cost
roughly the same as building an energy-efficient house. Ark Hotel uses solar panels and a rainwater collection
system to provide inhabitants with power and water. There will also be a “tornado” energy generating spiral at
the top of the pillar.
The Ark hotel China internal garden provides a lush escape for guests by acting as a greenhouse and enough
daylight is filtered throughout the internal rooms to reduce the need for lighting. Inside the Ark incorporates
large amount of vegetation that is cultivated through the light captured by its cover. Architects say the Ark
Hotel shell-like construction of arches and cables evenly distribute weight so it is also invulnerable to
earthquakes. The hotel concept would float and function independently on the surface of a body of water,
providing a green, self-sustaining environment for guests who presumably, would never have to leave.
Ark Hotel China project was designed by Russian firm Remi studio with the assistance of the International
Union of Architects’ program Architecture for Disasters Relief. No matter ark hotel is one of the best hotels in
the world to give you new life experience. Below you can see some pictures of this floating hotel.

2. All at sea: The shell-shaped hotel is designed to withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters
The floating behemoth is a 'biosphere' conceived as a safe, self-contained haven. Branded as a green, self-
sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural
disasters. Architects say the Ark's shell-like construction of arches and cables evenly distribute weight so it is
also invulnerable to earthquakes. The design uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide
inhabitants with power and water.
Shaking up the design: The Ark's shell-like construction of arches and cables evenly distribute weight so
it is also invulnerable to earthquakes.

3. Futuristic: The Ark Hotel has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels, boasts a
green, self-sustaining environment for guests, and would withstand tidal waves and other natural
disasters
Inside the Ark incorporates large amount of vegetation that is cultivated through the light captured by its cover,
like a greenhouse. The staggered balconies serve as social and recreational areas, and open layout allows the
building to be adapted to different functions depending on how it is necessary and can be installed on the
ground without any problems.
The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food
sources.
Because of the see-through structure enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for
lighting. And to ensure quality of light, the frame is protected with a self-cleaning layer.

4. Finding inner calm: The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air
quality and provide food sources.
The Ark is an energy system itself and the way it is convenient to install solar panels at an optimum angle to the
sun. Its dome, on top, collect the hot air that accumulates seasonally to provide uninterrupted power supply for
the whole complex. The heat from the environment - air, water or ground - is also used for this purpose.

5. Alexander Remi zov, of Remi studio, has previously said: 'For architecture, there are two major concerns.
1. 'The first is maintenance of security and precautions against extreme environmental conditions and
climate changes. The second one is protection of natural environment from human activities.
2. 'The Ark is an attempt to answer the challenges of our time. Provision is made for an independent life
support system.
3. 'All the plants are chosen according to compatibility, illumination and efficiency of oxygen producing,
and with the aim of creating an attractive and comfort space.
'Through the transparent roof there is enough light for plants and for illuminating the inner rooms.'
The system has loads of arches allowing redistribution of weight in case of an earthquake. The intelligent
design of the building allows an optimal relationship between its volume and its outer surface, providing further
energy efficiency. Its prefabricated frame also allows quick construction
Greenhouse effect: The see-through structure means enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for
lighting
The structural soundness of the Ark is
provided by wooden arches compression
and tension steel cables. The frame is
covered by a special foil Ethyl Tetra
Fluoro Ethylene or ETFE. It is a strong
metal sheet is automatically cleaned
transparent, recyclable, durable,
economically efficient and lighter than
glass. They also serve as solar collectors to
heat water, and channels to collect
rainwater from the roof.
Biosphere: The design, which uses solar panels
and a rainwater collection system to provide
inhabitants with power and water, can be
adapted to work on both land and water
