Manuel's Dream House

I dreamed of a house once that was like living inside an aquarium. One could walk out and through rooms and spaces that weave through a representative eco system that was a live habitat for tropical salt water fishes, a coral reef environment. Sunlight would filter through and around the house.
The house itself is a traditional looking 3 bedroom beach cottage like you might find in the Caribbean Ocean. The aquarium would be set up to mimic the natural environment where the fish would live. The fish would swim back and forth throughout the house.
The house would only be one story high, pitched terra-cotta Spanish tile. Cement stucco finished on concrete block walls, wooden window shutters with vented slats, a front veranda that wraps around the house, long overhangs for the roof. Tropical vegetation around the house.
