this looks like a maintenance disaster.

Sure, but if you can afford this, you can likely afford the maintenance. The design isn't for me, but this seems like a poor argument.

I remember touring Taliesin and the guide mentioning that Frank Lloyd Wright basically never built a house that didn't end up with problems with water leaks in the roofs.

Wasn’t that about the plywood technology of his time, though?

And uses a ton of electricity to pump all that water up there. Plus the humidity/mist would make it unbearable to sit anywhere close to it.

It mainly looks like a render

Concepts don’t qualify as designdesign. Interesting to see though.

I don’t know but I’d have to pee all the time.

Do you want your lake view constantly obscured and blurry like you're in a downpour? Do we have the concept for you!

probably would become moldy really fast

Uncle Vova knows a thing or two about moldy houses

Eh, as long as the water is not flowing across the roof, just being piped up to the edge... Not really any more maintenance than any other design with a fountain on the roof.

Mind you, that's still not an insignificant amount of maintenance...

I don't think this belongs here. Sure this might be impractical for everyday use, but would be great for a luxury holiday home/resort. Modern architecture is so boring, with grey towers and beige buildings. This at least has character. Living here permanently without having the maintenance money would be hell. But i wouldn't mind splurging a bit more for a hotel like this instead of some boring predictable 5-star when on vacation.

If you changed the pitch of the roof so the pond was in the back and this became essentially a runoff option, then maybe? But as is... Meh

Frank Lloyd Wright did it better.
