Underwater Experience

British artist, Jason de Caires Taylor, created these 400 sculptures from casts of real people and placed them on the ocean floor outside of Mexico's Isla Mujeres National Marine Park. La Evolución Silenciosa (The Silent Evolution) aims to encourage coral growth in the waters close to Cancun. The result is a thoroughly engaging - and sustainable - underwater experience.

Called D’espresso, the interior has been rotated 90 degrees so that one wall features herringbone-pattern wooden flooring while the opposite wall will have pendent lights protruding horizontally. The result is both original and convincing.
