I’m transforming a quiet corner of my home into a modern, minimalist koi pond dedicated to relaxation and meditation, and I need a designer who has already tackled residential ponds within India’s climate and construction norms. The vision is clean lines rather than ornate stonework, yet it must feel alive—gently moving water, soft illumination after dusk, and subtle greenery floating at the surface. To achieve that, I want: • A sculptural waterfall or fountain that offers a calming sound without overpowering conversation • Discreet underwater lighting positioned for evening ambience and fish wellbeing • Select floating plants that complement the minimalist aesthetic while aiding water quality Please include in your proposal: • Concept sketches and a dimensioned layout suited to my available space (approx. 6 m x 3 m footprint) • Material recommendations easily sourced in India, with notes on durability and maintenance • Filtration, aeration, and electrical plans that keep the design sleek but functional • A simple planting scheme highlighting species, placement, and care • Optional 3-D renders or walkthroughs so I can visualise the final look before construction A concise timeline and any examples of previous koi ponds—especially modern styles—will help me decide quickly. I’ll handle on-site labour; you focus on the design, calculations, and guiding specifications so my contractor can build exactly what we imagine. I’m looking for an India-based professional with real experience designing koi ponds or water features for a residential property in India. This is not a concept-only project. I need a practical, build-ready design that can be executed by a local contractor. I already have: Site photos Approximate dimensions Clear expectations (koi health, filtration, safety, aesthetics) These will be shared only after shortlisting.
