Undersea Linden home suggestion

Suggestion for a more understanding water themed merfolk etc region. Houses based on shells, corals set on the ocean floor. Allowing for both boat navigation above & the deeper ocean for submersibles & swimming for the merfolk community.
Examples below given for general ideas, the Grotto could be repurposed & tikis given coral/ shell exteriors with continued tiki seabed style on the ocean floor. Small islands/rocks rezzes the homes.

I spend a lot of time as a mermaid in SL. I was very excited when the Grottos were released because I have been wanting to an underwater home for a long time. I abandoned my Grotto after only a few days. They really are oriented to landwalkers. The front doors are difficult to manage while swimming, and the various smaller rooms/nooks are too small to navigate when using a Mer AO. A more open design (or at least the ability to mod for one) would be fantastic. Also, while I appreciate the aquatic landscaping you've added, it still looks pretty sparse to people who spend all their time under the sea. A little colorscaping (reminiscent of glowy coral reefs, etc.) would go a long way!

Merging seems to have disabled access to this post. Restoring, with apologies.

Smiler: you might want to bring your idea to one of the weekly gatherings of the Safe Waters Foundation and bounce it off the merfolk there; encourage them to come in here and comment. SWF meets every Saturday (for 12+ years!) at 12N SLT, and all mers--new, old or just curious--are enthusiastically invited! Learn much more about SWF at https://swfsl.com .
