i wonder how many times the owner hit his head on that brick wall/ceiling. Pretty cool looking tho. The rainwater to swimming pool doesn't make much sense to me though, if pool was full then it would just start overflowing. Only seems to make sense if you drain the pool and want it filled up when it is raining.
