Self-Sustainable Underwater Living: Sub-Biosphere 2 By Phil Pauley [Video]

London designer Phil Pauley came up with a futuristic concept for self-sustainable underwater living. Entitled Sub-Biosphere two, his amazing underwater city is a viable structure “developed for aquanauts, tourism and oceanographic life sciences and extended-term human, plant and animal habitation“. The project consists of 8 living biomes (communities of flora and fauna) that span a website width of 340m (1105 ft), reaching their highest point at 120m (394 ft) above water.
According to Inhabitat, the underwater attributes include a central support biosphere that monitors life systems inside its own operation facility, an observation pod, individual pods and boats, the biggest measuring 20m (65 ft) in length and 20m/65 ft in h7 In a continuous chase for unconventional living solutions, this biosphere was created to accommodate 100 inhabitants. In addition, this habitat “sustains all its life help systems for air, water, food, electricity, and other sources via its innovative manage of variant atmospheric pressures that occur at depth“. Check out the video beneath for a better understanding of the notion and feel cost-free to share your thoughts!

Underwater Maternity Shoot

We haven’t featured a maternity session in ages, but when I came across this submission, I just new I had to share it! The talented Ilse Moore was responsible for Natalie’s lovilee underwater maternity shoot. She creatively entitled the shoot ‘Do you feel what I feel’.

‘As a fellow lover of the ethereal and surreal underwater world, Natalie embraced the quietness of the water and permitted herself to get lost in surroundings so closely resembling the surroundings of her unborn child. With that in mind we went with a gorgeous, but moody and surreal really feel. We were hoping for one thing that might describe a metaphorical understanding among Natalie and her unborn daughter, an ethereal water cocoon perhaps…

Watching Natalie move gradually and gracefully beneath the water was not only incredible to witness, but I was excited by her peaceful, goddess-like expressions. I have often loved doing maternity shoots, there’s a beautiful tenderness and warmth that surrounds the mother that is hard to describe… This was just like it.’ – Ilse Moore

Other Lovilees involved in the shoot:
