True, Anais -- you're more imaginative than Khell. Top of a building is fine -- and there must be hundreds of Miami condos with a pool on top.
I'm not sure if Space Mountain is taller than their "Everest" now, but it IS a widely told Florida joke. (Not the highest point in FL, however: there's a hilly region north of the DIsney domains, and they presumably qualify for highest elevation in the state.)
But I was writing about places where hills are close to the seaside so that one gets a decent view off the infinity-edge.
Tilting -- nope; there's a dictum: water seeks its own level.
Using fill (as it's called) is damned expensive -- thousands per cubic yard -- and you'd have to elevate the whole house. (You'd hardly want to go up a flight of steps to swim...) Also -- UGLY!

Or, you know, just at the top of a tall building. Any tall building.
