I'm picking up a baby water dragon in a week and while he has an enclosure to live in for now, I would love to build him a palace to inhabit unitl he is big enough to go into an outdoor enclosure.
I've been doing some searches on youtube and these two designs are ones that i would love to smush together and create something awesome

So after some trial and error, here's a design that I did up on Google Sketch.
The bottom section is a fish tank (1200Lx700Wx350D) with the ramp leading up onto the platform (800x700). The middle shelf has the same dimensions. Top basking shelf is 350wide and goes the full 1200 of the enclosure. Total height is approx 1200. One side will be full wooden, but the other side will be mesh for ventilation. Front opening will be split into 4 sliding doors. There will be a UV light attached to the ceiling and also to the underside of the middle shelf.
Hopefully, there will be a pair of macquarie short necks going into the pond. Submersable filter will be added. Trying to figure out if I can make that bottom shelf removable to access the pond, or if I put the fish tank on small caster wheels to make it pull out for ease of cleaning.
What do you reckon guys?
