I've never seen a [two-story home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garde-hvalse) quite like the WaterStudio Watervilla. The WaterStudio Watervilla has two stories, one underwater and one at ground level, making for a [unique living experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway) to say the least.

The bedroom, bathroom, and other private areas are all located below the waterline. The communal areas in the WaterStudio Watervilla are all located at ground level, which isn't surprising since most people value their privacy even underwater. Check it out in the gallery above and be sure to check out more great [aquatic homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pura-vida-floating-home) from WaterStudios and more below.
