One Eastside
This modern architectural water feature operates as a three-tier cascade with a split base composed of geometric, square pools. It blends dynamic water movement, subtle surface textures and integrated lighting to create an engaging focal point.
The upper pool features a water table. A large, centrally located, illuminated bubbler discharges water which gently radiates out across the table and falls from the edge through a gap to an inclined collection channel below.
Water from the collection channel passes to an intermediate pool where it overflows a weir edge creating a clean sheet of falling water into one of the two lower pools emitting a soothing cascading sound.
The two lower pools are separated by a pathway but are hydraulically connected to maintain similar water levels in both pools. Each of the lower pools have four submerged illuminated jets which produce a low-pressure, frothy, agitated water effect with a gentle acoustic white noise while glowing from within via integrated submersible LED lights. These jets provide a gentle, playful conclusion to the water transit, contrasting beautifully with the tranquil water table at the top.
The water is filtered and disinfected in the water feature plant room located in the adjacent building with inlet and outlet locations to promote a good distribution of treated water to help maintain good water quality within the feature.
All control, treatment and pumping equipment is located in the water feature plant room
The Postmark Project, which redeveloped the former Royal Mail sorting office site at Mount Pleasant in London, includes a plaza water feature composed of 12 jets formed in a circular shape.
The visual appeal from the movement of the water jets and auditory stimulation from the sound of splashing water enhances urban liveability by creating a gathering place and fostering a sense of well-being and tranquillity.
Interconnected water storage pods, individual DMX-controlled pump units for each jet with Red/Green/Blue/White LED illumination, distribution pipes and nozzles, feature lighting, a water holding tank, cross-site pipework, water return floor grates suitable for pedestrian loading are located beneath the paving. The water treatment plant together with the necessary control and monitoring systems are located in a basement plant room.
This plaza water feature, which was formerly a part of London’s busy and historic Royal Docks, is part of a major mixed regeneration project in the Canning Town district of East London.
It consists of 15 vertical clearstream water jets in a triangular formation just below paving level, with a total area of about 7.5 m by 11.5 m.
The plaza feature brings a playful element to the formal space and softens the hard landscaping.
While lowering any urban noise and fostering a sense of tranquillity, the sound of the water cascading from the jets may be both energizing and soothing.

Renovation of an historic water feature within a courtyard at Nuffield College, University of Oxford consisting of a 4 metre square pool with a central artistic sculpture and spraying jets, three per sculpture element.
Over the years, the feature had been added to and modified, but it had gradually fallen into disrepair. The College wanted to restore it to a contemporary level once more as part of extensive landscaping projects going on nearby.
As part of the renovation, four LED spotlights illuminate the underside of the sculpture. The base of the feature has been raised to form a sump to discretely house the display pump, new supply pipework and cabling. An overflow and automatic water top-up has been incorporated and a complete water treatment system in line with current requirements and guidelines installed within the basement of the nearby building.
The water feature is situated in an urban business quarter, St Petersfield, in Ashton under Lyne, on a paved plaza area.
This feature, which was constructed in 2006 and had been unused for quite some time, has been renovated and its water treatment system updated to bring it back into compliance with regulations and standards of today.
The feature comprises of two banks of 12 jets, arranged in a straight line, that extend up to two meters above the pavement. A set of 24 pods with an architectural grill covering which are flush with the surrounding paving house the underwater LED lighting and jets.
A subterranean plant room houses the filtration and dosing equipment required to keep the water clean and an underground reservoir tank holds the working water for the feature.
This external 9 jet plaza feature on the bank of the River Thames provides a decorative element in the Fulham Riverside urban living environment.
The sound and visual aesthetic of three rows of jets spaced 1.1 x 0.8 metres apart create a pleasant ambiance and an element of surprise for nearby residents and passers-by, which promotes and enhances the use of this public space.
When the fountain is not running, the area is multi-functional since it may be walked on.
The LED lighting around the jets provides evening illumination, extending the water feature’s operational hours after sunset.
A distinctive water feature to a state of the art sports facility, which offers a unique back drop.
Prominently sited to the forefront of the entrance to Leicester City FC Training Ground visitors are welcomed with an authentic visual impression of a wildlife scene that is symbolic of the club’s nickname, The Foxes, denoted from Leicestershire’s foxes and fox hunting history.
The spectacular scene, designed by sculptor Juliet Cursham, depicts a skulk of playfully animated foxes that are life-like and frozen in time as they clamber over rocks and splash around in a pool. In the centre, a trio of foxes are pursuing a fish that is leaping out of the water. The bronze foxes and fish are given life and movement by the playing water produced by a number of strategically placed water jets, and the still, large pool serves as a grand stage for their activities.
At dusk, advantageously placed LED lighting around the pool’s edge and submerged in the water shows the intricate workmanship, texture, and colour of the bronze sculptures, heightening the water feature’s visual intrigue and drama.
