Located on 620 South Ocean Boulevard, Manalapan Beach, Florida, Acqua Liana is a unique project developed by Frank McKinney featuring state-of-art eco-friendly technology set upon beautiful Floridian coast. Find out more in our exclusive coverage about Acqua Liana featuring fabulous photos found nowhere else.
From its water floors and water walls, to its water gardens and waterfalls, to its pools, reflecting ponds and fire spa, to the ocean beside and the Intracoastal waterway behind, each is found intertwined in a magical and eternal blossom at Acqua Liana, designed by Frank McKinney.
Acqua Liana is set upon 1.6 acres / 7,744 sq. yd., and 8 metres / 26 ft. above sea level, with more than 50 breathtaking metres (164 ft.) fronting direct Atlantic Ocean-to-Intracoastal Waterway property.
Solar panels, insulative characteristics, environmentally conscious lighting, ultra-high efficient appliances and air-conditioning that cut down on electrical consumption by nearly 60%. On certain days the home will be energy neutral, and will generate enough electricity to run two average size homes – that means no bills for electricity.
Oceanfront master bedroom suite with sitting room and his/hers ocean-view baths – hers with mahogany soaking tub and his with steam shower with door to the beach.
A system that collects runoff water from the roof and fills the water garden. The system collects enough reusable water to fill the average size swimming pool every 20 days.
Ultra-high efficient air-conditioning and purification systems that make the home’s indoor air quality 2x cleaner than a hospital’s operating room.
First ever glass “water floor” with hand-painted tiles in a Monet-inspired Lotus garden motif brilliantly illuminated below the shimmering surface.
Use of enough reclaimed and renewable wood to save over 10.5 acres of rain forest. Renewable woods used regenerate at an average rate of every 5 years vs. every 50 years for many hardwoods (one species of Columbian guada bamboo used regenerates by growing 90 feet/27.5 metres in a single year!).
7,500 litres / 1,980 gal arched aquarium wet bar (walk below with over 100 exotic fish swimming above!).
The driveway is not concrete or pavers, bu a golf-course grass so that the dirty runoff won’t leach into the water table.
During construction over 155 tones of debris and trash was recycled. Over 75% of all debris was diverted, and will never reach a landfill.
The house features an automated “bio-feedback” system that allows the owner to monitor resource consumption in real time.
Floors are made from cork, coconut and bamboo.
Sold for $ 22 900 000 / £ 14 645 000 / € 16 400 000.
