@Fish newbie
LOL ... it is quite a big one and not for rent, because I plan to stay there. BTW It is Indonesia (as in southeast asia) and not India (as in western asia). Lighting from the stairs? possible. Metal halide spotlights as a secondary source from that angle would be nice. But still I want at least a single (or double) bigger metal halide pendant from the ceiling.

Back to the project.... since this is a project which is integrated with the house, work and finishing must be done in orderly fashion otherwise one job may delay or even ruin the other. The room in general is now somewhat left behind with granite slabs to be installed that is after plumbing is finished (for all in and ex waterways).

So finishing to the garden is somewhat delayed and work must slow down from here. Several basic work yet to be finished are :
- filter chambers
- control valves and non-planted plumbing
- viewing glass and the frames
- garden floor
- supplemental artificial lighting system
- covering for the sunlight opening (with support frames as well)
- finishing touches; make ups, colourings and fine details on textures
- plant decoration and setup?? --> this one is the last to think of.... still months away!

I'm happy to update that the whole backdrop has taken full shape, plumbings are all installed and covered, including those for drainage, filter and backwall watering. The pond section is also concrete casted and well cured right now that you can see the base shape even though it is not yet given details/texture. I will take some pics to share the next time I visit the house for general inspection.
