The Askew family is in a bind: they have very little living space inside and an outside dominated by a standalone Japanese koi pond. Dean and Derek's solution: create a Japanese-themed living room. They build a floating deck and bridge up against the pond, hide ugly filters with bamboo, and add beautiful Asian-inspired plantings and accents. When they're done, the Askews will enjoy family time and the fish pond they've worked so hard to create!
