Benjamin Graindorge and Duende Studio have created an amazing floating garden that is visually appealing. All gardens are of course visually appealing but the fact that this garden floats on water makes it all the more exotic and worthy of praise and admiration. This actually is a natural water filtration system for aquariums.

The dirty water is purified and thanks to all the plans the water in the aquarium is oxygenated and it would help your fish to stay healthy. It is based on the principle of hydroponics and it eliminates all the wastes excreted by fish in two ways including gravel bed filtration and Aquaponics and thus nitrate rich water is absorbed by plants and fresh water is released again.

aquarium The Aquarium Redefines Laundry

Keeping the dignity of labour ethics in mind, I maintain that doing one’s laundry can hardly be called a mentally stimulating task. And if that wasn’t enough, we have the scary box-like machines that too don’t offer any incentive for us to do the dreary job day after day.

However, Djordje Zivanovic’s Aquarium might change everything. All you know, your husband could offer to wash clothes on a regualr basis unlike the old days when you had to go bickering after him. The innovative washing machine in reference has a unique shape that will come as a value addition to your modern domestic amenities.

Inspa World

Want to enjoy spa, massages, saunas, facials, loofah rubs, swimming at a single place? Here you go! Inspa World is a five-story 60,000-square-foot funhouse located in the College Point neighborhood of Queens, N.Y that labels itself as a “spa and water park.” But this description falls too short to define it if you consider Rory real experience or mine virtual. Overlooking Long Island Sound near the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, it costs only $30 to get in.

While check-in, each visitor is asked for a credit card in return of which a wristwatch-sized electronic bracelet is given (blue for men, pink for ladies). The watertight bracelet mechanically opens individual lockers for one’s shoes and clothes. Visitors then clad themselves in a spa uniform to go upstairs to the co-ed sauna and restaurant floors. The place offers separate changing rooms for the upstairs co-ed pools.

Inspa World

It features two large outdoor pools flooded with water jets and bubble jets aiming at massaging your every body part. You would be glad to know that besides sun bath, it offers you a pool with integrated hot tub. It also offers facility of typical steam rooms and saunas downstairs for men and women.

There is also a possibility of taking a facial in a private booth or a massage with a view of the locality. The food court at sauna floor offers a salad bar, a sushi bar, hamburgers and French fries, Starbucks coffees and Haagen Dazs ice cream. Whilst the top floor of the Korean restaurant serves you with meat and noodle main courses, with countless other dishes for about $12. Developed and designed by architect and owner Steve Chon, almost $25 million was spent upon its construction and is hoping to install another 19 with next one in Dallas.

ASP Spacearium fishtank

Those who love being in the company of water can here explore the pool of opportunities. Earlier we have introduced you to coffee table cum aquarium, underwater lodge that offers aquarium feel, River, Fish, Farm cum kitchen Garden, Moody Acquario aquarium and other set of customized aquariums. Today there is a reinvention to the very idea of installing aquariums. Dubbed as ASP Spacearium fish tank, it aims to “revamp your indoor space,” against being a masterpiece or hanging accessory with some fish in it residing at any corner.

Spacearium

Featured here is the ASP Spacearium fishtank that offers the looks similar to a plasma TV. The gigantic acrylic tanks are twisted like gently curvature ellipses, and vary in the size across 5-8 feet, which is functional enough to behave like room dividers. Those who have an interesting collection of vibrant fishes can turn this fish tank into a beautiful wall divider.
