That doesn't look real. Is it a concept or is it real?

Also the "pebble" border looks exactly like a pebble boarder that has been blown up to make it look like giant 18" rocks. Anybody ever found 18" wide rocks that are all flat on top but round at the same time? Those look like little river rocks blown up to me. The whole thing looks fake, the shadows don't match very well either.

Not saying it doesn't exist and that it's not cool. The picture just looks fake to me, like this was the computer generated concept pic they used of it before they built it. It's still cool and I would pee in it if given the chance.

I will take one in my back yard though, my dog would love it!

That is a CGI.

My dogs won't swim in a pool, so I have no use for it.

Looks like some place near the Kohala coast on the Big Island. Lot of rich folks bought the place up a while ago. Money is no problem for any project those people and architects come up with.

I say it's real. Those rocks are possibly from the pebble beaches around the area, but it is risky to just go picking them up for such projects. An 18" dia. rock w/flat face is not all that rare when you look around the coast. They have much bigger ones too.

The white deck looks like it could cause snow-blindness on a sunny day.
The tree overhanging the pool would be a constant maintenance problem.

If it is early in the morning, the air can be pretty cool; especially if the wind is coming off an occasionally snow-capped mountain like Mauna Kea. That might explain the jackets.

Yes It's fake but that's not the question. It is without a shadow of a doubt FAKE! Now, lets get to the question can it be built? Absolutely, Looks cost money, how pretty do you want it? Of course you'll never get the stone bluffs to look like that, without a few hundred thousand anyway.

Why not one like these instead?
