Underwater the building can be turned inside out, with a huge atrium under a skylight functioning as "exterior" space, the Ocean Sphere.

But kept thinking about "traditional" skyscrapers too and sketched a concept. A very large plate can sustain a replica of a few land-typical town blocks. The points of the stars would allow for the necessary stability and also create coves.

Five Harbours Towers






Granted the skyscrapers are not yet beautiful but show the possible volumes
