That’s Cool!

It’s human nature to want to be near water—we respect and need water. The sound of moving water and the beauty of moving water inspires an innate connection. Fountains, waterfalls, waterwalls and more, as well as lighting, transform a space—creating emotion, encouraging people to stay longer. Fountains are good for the soul. Public water features are entertaining and good for their community. 

Water is a basic element that everyone needs. There are associations between water, wellness and good fortune. That’s a reason it’s common to see water features in hospitality, shopping and corporate spaces as well as in public spaces. Cemeteries often feature fountains—moving water can evoke serenity and peacefulness. People visit parks to enjoy beauty, to rest, and to reconnect with themselves and nature.  

Commercial fountains and water features

Iconic fountains develop a sense a place. The Roth Fountain in Sioux City, Iowa, is a good example of honoring important history. The Mollengracht Canal in Pella, Iowa, brings the memories of a foreign homeland to a new place. Splash pads and ground level fountains endear families and young children to their community. Sculptural artwork together with a fountain is that much more memorable.  

Create a Significant Space

A water feature is an asset. A well-designed water feature increases traffic and can lead to increased goodwill and to increased sales. “We are pleased to work with a client that has an idea for a water feature, and to bring that idea to life.” Says Rick Whiteaker, aquatic specialist. “Understanding the hydraulic and mechanical requirements and possibilities allow us to explore the initial idea, so budgets and outcomes are met. I truly enjoy assisting communities and owners to develop a meaningful space.”
