An architecture firm has designed a floating, 5-star hotel that would generate its own electricity by rotating, but it may be too futuristic for its own good

The design by Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS) is for a five-star hotel with 152 rooms that would span more than 376,000 square feet, or about 8.6 acres.

Construction on the hotel has not yet begun, and feasibility studies and technical assessments are ongoing, Kübra Türk, one of the architects working on the project at HAADS, told Insider.

The rotation would "not produce all the energy it needs," Türk said.

He added that the amount of electricity generated will depend on where the hotel is located and the water current there.

Rainwater collectors and a water purification system for obtaining water from the sea are also incorporated in the design, Türk said.

Other eco-friendly measures planned for the hotel include a system for using food waste as fertilizer for the landscaping and treating the hotel's waste water so it doesn't harm the environment, according to the design plans.

"No exact location is out of the question," Türk said. "Because the project can move, it has the potential to be positioned in any area if the required flow is provided."

To stay in place, the hotel would use dynamic positioning, a computer-controlled system set to automatically maintain a ship's position and direction using its own propellers and thrusters.

The architect, Türk, said he could not disclose which company would operate the planned hotel or the source of the funding for its development for confidentiality purposes.

He also said he could not estimate a total cost to build the hotel at this stage as the feasibility and technical studies are still ongoing and many of the hotel's design elements will be used for the first time.
