Materials used are from the provided Google SketchUp materials and I also incorporated my custom textures of 'Bubbly on the inner side walls and 'Oily' as the floor texture.

Stairs: 
Giant Spiral staircase from bottom to top floor

Chosen design to develop: 

I decided to develop Draft Mod2 because I really want to have a half submerged construction underwater. It is quite unique. I also decided to have a kind of 1 elevator tube from the ground building to the floating sphere. The base/lowest level of the sphere is solid the other two levels can be used.

Measurements: 0.5m thickness of each floor, 0.2m thick wall, 3m high for each floor, the Sphere has radius 10m.

I made the ground plain and ocean for the 2 constructions to be placed.

Custom Textures

(47 Textures+6 extra)

Chosen design for draft 1:

I decided to experiment with this section sketch with words : Resonates and Cubes

Chosen design for draft 2:

I decided to experiment with two of these sections. I wanted to use the ground floor of this first sketch for Shinya Kimuta representing 'Solid' and use the underground/underwater section from the second sketch for Antonio Stradivari representing 'Curvilinia'. 

Ideas: Levels, area, possible staircase area
