Different but not for me. I do not care for the winding stairway and I hope someone is around to keep the pond pristine.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not cleaning the pond. 😄

@spiderw

I agree that it would have to be kept pristine. If not, could develop an odor.

I love this, if I had this kind of money I would definitely hire a “Pond boy” to clean it. Beautiful space!

A high-end pond like that would typically have a filter room nearby where a rotary drum filter would remove coarse solids and then a biofilter, likely a Bakki shower on the high-end side, to remove organic waste, then a final water-polishing filter and a UV sterilizer. The water coming out of such a filter system is typically purer than your drinking water. A bigger issue is humidity control within the house. That much exposed water can lead to big time issues over the lifespan of a home. Mold and fungus growth can become a problem unless the humidity is controlled. I like the idea of an indoor pool (for either swimming or koi) but the whole house needs to be built to deal with the moisture issue such features bring with them. My big issue with that pond is there's no real place to just sit and enjoy watching the fish.

Reminds me of a hotel lobby. LOL

I like it but wouldn't want it in my home.

Went through the fish phase, not on this scale, but no thanks. Regardless of how careful, how clean, they come down with something and die.

This setup doesn't look very pleasant for these fish. IMO, they should stay in their natural habitat where they're most happy.

Very nice and different. I wouldn’t want to clean it though. But I guess if you had a house like this you wouldn’t clean it the help would.

A koi pond in a "cement parking lot" is not all that exciting. I would prefer it to be surrounded by plants and a nice cabana sitting area. It's too blah. They might as well be swimming in a bucket, appeal wise.

@ Wow, my Koi would be living large if they had a pond like that. It's still chilly here in Western NY, so my fish are in their semi dormant waking up stage at the bottom of my pond. In a couple weeks we will be starting the pumps and waterfall up and my fish will be starting to swim more. I can't wait, I've had the same Koi for about 14 years.

Uh uh... Don't like the aesthetic and even if I did, I could see myself falling into it... No desire to swim with the fishes...

It doesn't even look aesthetically pleasing. My sympathy is with the fish, living in a "SEE-ment pond" (thank you to the Beverly Hillbillies).

Not appealing to me at all.

Love the koi pond & large open space with all the natural light. I'd need to see the rest of the area, may be too mod.
