"Nestled in the heart of Berlin, adjacent to the historic Berliner Dom, the Cityquartier DomAquarée is a multi-use development, including a world-renowned four star hotel, retail, recreation, living and office space. Water is the architectural theme of the complex and the impressive AquaDom aquarium is the highlight of this experience. Positioned in the center of the hotel complex, the base of the AquaDom rises 26 feet above the ground floor. Visitors have the unique experience of ascending through the water’s depths as they ride a split-level glass elevator from the ground floor up seven floors, through the center of the AquaDom. As they rise they experience an array of colorful corals, rock formations and a myriad of over 2,000 fish.
The AquaDom breaks all records as the largest cylinder aquarium in the world, at over 52 feet in depth by 36 feet in diameter. This engineering marvel took 150 tons of acrylic to complete. ICM subcontracted Reynolds Polymer Technology to engineer and install the acrylic. The AquaDom was constructed with 24 R-Cast™ acrylic panels for the outer cylinder and 15 R-Cast™ acrylic panels for the inner cylinder bonded together to look seamless. The panels were shipped from the Reynolds Polymer Technology factory in Colorado and then bonded together on-site. Bonding on-site was a complex process with the panels bonded in an upright position within specially constructed environmentally controlled rooms."
