ABSTRACT:
A building installation includes a multi-level development with several stacked levels each offering a plurality of adjacent units suitable as individual offices, residential or the like units. Certain of the lowermost levels may be constructed below or at grade, and if below grade, then within an excavation that extends immediately adjacent the lowermost levels and includes a containment for water and adapted to provide a habitat for marine life. Windows in the wall of at least one of the levels juxtaposed the water containment permit direct observation of the marine life while walkways and stairways exteriorly of both sides of the building levels allow ready movement of installation residents both between all levels and ground level. The water containment may include a centrally disposed island with one or more cross-overs so residents may pass from one or more building levels, over the water, to the island and enter the water.
