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

A triangular water table rises from the boulevard to reflect the surrounding landscape and sky creating a focal point at the entrance to 4 Wellington Place, a new build, nine-storey office and retail development in Leeds.

The water feature weirs over on two sides to a below ground collection channel where a custom designed pump and water filtration system is utilised to provide crystal clear water that continually overflows the perfectly installed granite table top and steeply inclined sides. LED colour strip light is installed to further enhance the feature.

Crown Street forms part of new neighbourhood in Manchester city centre designed for city centre living.

Situated on Levels 16 and 44 of this newly-built skyscraper, two external, rectangular, black, stainless steel reflective water tables are built within the landscaping area of the roof terraces.

The overall sizes are 4.2m and 3.3m long x 2m wide x 0.45m above finished floor level.

Water enters through a slot onto the feature and overflows the edges of the tray, with minimal noise and water movement delivering a relaxing and reflective experience – an oasis above the city. 

There’s something about the water – that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite. – John C. Reilly

An external stone water table incorporated as part of the external works for The Acland Project at Keble College Oxford. 

The dark stone that forms the plinth of the water table provides a stark contrast to the brickwork and outdoor space of the courtyard beyond.

The gentle flow of water over the smooth stone appears to pull the surface of the water tight increasing the reflective qualities on the surface of the table, this element especially poignant as Keble College marks the 150th anniversary of its’ foundation reflecting on the old and looking to the future.

Passers-by are drawn to touch and explore the surface.

Water is delivered to the top of the table and introduced through five bubbler feature nozzles with the water falling away on one end of the feature into a peripheral gulley providing an acoustic break.

Each bubbler has three LEDs around it to illuminate the display.

Owen Street is a new high density development designed for central city living.

Located on the Level 3 roof terrace two external stone reflective water tables sit within a stone bench seat creating a sense of space on this roof terrace.

Both trapezoidal in shape with overall maximum dimensions of 5.9m x 2.9m – upper terrace and 6.9m x 2.6m – lower terrace at a height above paving of 0.5m.

Water flows equally over the four sides of the feature to ensure an undisturbed shallow pool of water, which in non-windy conditions, creates a superficial film which mirrors the architecture of the surrounding buildings and “disappears”, as if by magic!

Eight individual water features designed and installed at intu Lakeside’s new public realm space. The new leisure development features landscaped areas and integrated lighting, sound and water-powered technology to engage visitors.

Events Boulevard hosts the UK’s first ever digital water-wall.  This ‘water curtain’ type feature is known as a Flash Wall. Mounted to a clad structure, the Flash Wall sits in the centre of a granite pool and drops and illuminates water from over 500 individually controllable micro-valves and 32 individually controllable RGBA (Red/Green/Blue/Amber) LEDs.   This allows the feature to be digitally programmed to display graphics, designs, characters, etc, which are represented through the use of fast reacting valve technology.

Six ‘water table’ type features, all varying in length and width, installed on The Street and at Events Boulevard are clad and topped with granite. Each feature has a dry mounted display pump providing water to the top of the table before flowing over the sides of the water table. Every other piece of granite cladding is etched to provide a rippling effect. All features are fitted with rising fog and are illuminated by a below ground LED strip.

Activity Square hosts a ‘plaza’ type water feature arranged in a large triangular layout consisting of 25 individually controllable DMX display pumps located in stainless steel pods below the surrounding paved area. Each grate is fitted with an individually controllable RGB (Red/Green/Blue) LED that illuminates the water as part of the display and each jet has a rising fog effect.

One Blackfriars tower is an elegant new landmark on London’s skyline. 

Six multi-level cascading water tables arranged in a butter-fly shape, when viewed from above, provide a calm oasis away from congested neighbouring roads.  The reflective water tables and the soothing sound of gently running water combine to form an inviting landscape where people can sit to relax in a tranquil urban plaza set in the heart of the scheme.

The features are each built into raised granite clad structures that also form planters.

Two external textured stone monoliths over which water runs offering a tranquil and peaceful space where people can relax and enjoy the cooling environment.

 To further enhance the monoliths each one is illuminated by LED colour change light.  During the evening time the LED lights illuminate the water as it passes over the stone and brings a whole new aspect to the feature to that of the daytime.

The L shaped granite cascade over which water runs offers a striking feature for the entrance to the building space.

 To further enhance the cascade is illuminated by white LED light.  During the evening time the LED lights illuminate the water as it passes over the stone and brings a whole new aspect to the feature to that of the daytime.

Two water features either side of the entrance to the Boulevard provide new signage for the existing development. The water flows over the horizontal section of glass and then down the vertical face behind the signage.

Both features are illuminated by white LED light to enhance the appearance. During the evening time the LED lights illuminate the water features bringing a whole new aspect to that of the daytime.

The frame was designed to accommodate the mechanical and electrical equipment, lighting and granite. The water feature works were constructed off-site within the framework and delivered ready for installation of the glass and granite. This approach ensured there was minimal disruption on site for the existing occupants.
