Frank McKinney is the designer behind “Acqua Liana”, an extravagant home set on 1.6 acres of seafront property in Florida. The house is one-of-a-kind and boasts waterfalls, lagoons, an aquarium wet bar and water walls and floors amongst other cool features on the inside.

– Solar panels, insulative characteristics, environmentally conscious lighting and ultra-high efficient appliances that cut electrical consumption by 60%. On certain days the home is energy neutral

– A system that collects runoff water from the roof and fills the water garden
