FOUNTAINS

Landscaped fountains add a shimmering visual energy and an ambient acoustic energy to their environments thus infusing it with vitality. Those of us who have camped in the mountains alongside a cascading stream deep within a forrest know the sensation. When we construct fountains, we try to emulate that natural beauty and vitality. The fountains shown here are designed as distinctive manmade components integrated into an exterior natural environment. This is a solution for our parks, yards and gardens. You will later see designs for bringing these same qualities within our architecture.
