Access to Moving Water

Water carries tremendous symbolic qualities and, as a species, we are drawn to it as if for survival.

We therefore incorporate water in the form of wall or courtyard fountains, or as reflecting pools or ponds in all of our projects.

It offers visual and acoustical restoration , masks unwanted sounds such as road noise and can instill a sense of cooling freshness, privacy and focus into a courtyard or garden setting.

Since we want our buildings to be seasonally dynamic, we enjoy creating design mechanisms (channels, runnels, rain chains etc.) through which rain can be made visible, can be listened to as music or collected in fountain basins or cisterns for irrigation or other non-potable uses.
