Here is my essay o​n my Fantasy House of the Future.

My fantasy house of the future is located underwater of a turquoise ocean. The house is a modern double-story house and the outside walls are of a creamy yellow colour. An enormous magic bubble surrounds the house from the ground to the roof and looks as if it could pop at any moment. But this is a magical bubble and it would never pop. A crystal clear glass tunnel attached to the bubble leads to dry land from underwater. The seabed which the house is located on, is tiled with glistening white tiles and is smooth to walk on. Outside the magic bubble, the seabed is filled with never-ending stretches of coral, slanting walls of rock and has great cracks and crevices where some fish hide in.

The view I like best comes from the library as it has a glass wall that looks out to the blue-green water, filled with fish swimming varied directions and multicoloured sea plants swishing about. When I sit on my luxurious rocking chair in the library and look out the glass wall, I feel satisfied, free and fulfilled because the scenery is very exquisite. I like to imagine that I’m a little fish, swimming away to anywhere I want with nobody, nothing to stop me. The transparent wall is like a colossal television screen. The wall on the left and the one facing the glass wall is lined with timber bookshelves full of different kinds of fantastic books. Among these, my favourites are the adventurous and fantasy genres. In the library, I can hear the slight tick-tock of the clock hanging on the wall. However, when I read a book from my vast collection, the sound of the clock seems to subside.

My house has four bedrooms on the upper story opening to a balcony. My bedroom walls are painted light blue and a brown table lies next to my bed with a lamp on it for my night-time reading. I can hear the sound of splashing water from the fish swimming, but at night, everything is as quiet and still. The ocean would be as still as a tree on a windless day and this would make it easy for me to go to sleep. Living underwater would drown out the disturbing sounds of cars driving by and it would be more peaceful. There would only be the sound of small swirls of water in the daytime and just peaceful at night time.

Another wonderful part of my fantasy house is the kitchen. It is on the bottom story and I find it very attractive. On the windowsill of the wide window in the kitchen are perky pot-plants and splendid sea shells. When I walk into my kitchen, I can smell the faint sweet fragrance from the fruit bowl on my kitchen table. The table is covered with a tablecloth with pictures of flowers on it and it is very colourful. The kitchen floor is tiled just like the seabed around the house and the brown cupboards are stuck on the walls. On the kitchen bench, there is a white vase with bright yellow flowers that give a sweet scent. The kitchen is located in the corner near my library.

My inspiration for this fantasy house of the future comes from a book called “Sailing to Atlantis.” This book features a house underwater in Atlantis and is inside a magic bubble. Why I chose to make my fantasy home underwater was because I enjoy the sight of shoals of swimming fish and the sound of splashing water. My underwater house provides me with peace and quiet at night which makes it easy to go to bed or read books without distraction.
