Imagine a room with faux hardwood, where spills seep through the floor by design. No sloping the floors to a central drain, just a nice living room floor that you can hose down. Underneath is a concrete floor, with a central drain and a exhaust fan to prevent mold and mildew.
The perforated floor
is fully supported and feels solid, and the holes are barely visible, but you can spill a full 20 liters bucket on the floor and not flood the room.
You can dust and wash it down through the floor, and even soak rugs where they lay, and the exhaust fan will dry it all out.

Hmm... probably not good for cold environments,
but I wonder if this is baked somehow somewhere
as it seems obvious. |

You would have to find the right balance between
perforated or porous/permeable. 20 litres dumped on
anything will make a mess, regardless of its draining
properties. But a good idea! |
|
|
Cleanliness would be an issue over time with piles of dust, tracked in material and lost skin building up in drain holes. |

I don't think there's a self cleaning drain (new non friction material?) , most are just backwashed. |

Big enough gaps/holes in the flooring to see the rubber
sharks* circulating (on thin wires) below. |

A bit of negative pressure could be interesting.
Sortof an upside-down air hockey table. |

The dog can just remain inside on those cold winter days. |

I don't think this would actually help you get away with four
murders. |
|
|
I wonder if anyone has used "grasscrete" indoors yet. You
could walk around on the clover/grass in your living room
without grinding it down and could certainly utilize a
deeper floor drain. |

^ I don't think you'd have to go that extreme : each room has pretty distinctive pathways : just put flat rocks there, and non-supported grass in the other areas, where they occasionally, but not usually, get walked on. |

I think you've invented the under gravel filter for humans...
