<a href="http://richard-architecture-design.com/about_us">Richard Moreta Castillo</a> has envisioned a grand offshore marine platform on stilts to commemorate the 50th anniversary of beginning of Cancun's development in 2020. Although the design for the mega Grand Cancun eco-complex will include all of the luxury amenities often associated with a project of this scale, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/deep-ocean-technology-unveils-plans-for-their-insane-underwater-discus-hotel-in-dubai/">including underwater dining</a> and shopping galore, the project's inspiring eco ethos is all-encompassing.

Richard Moreta Castillo envisioned an offshore marine platform that will be used in part to clean up the ocean near Cancun

The platform is powered by solar, wind and geothermal energy

The luxury resort also includes underwater dining and shopping galore

Albeit a luxury resort, it has a strong eco-ethos

Hydrocarbons and other pollutants are filtered out of the surrounding water

A mini desalination plant on board helps to provide water supplies

This is said to be the world's first offshore platform designed to actually give back to the ocean instead of extracting all its resources

This brilliant design is slated to be erected in time for Cancun's 50th anniversary
