Water Feature Design
Creative and innovative design is a cornerstone of our work and collaborations
With over five decades of experience in the commercial water feature industry, collaboration in designing captivating, sustainable, world-class water features is at the core of what we do.
Whether you’re designing a traditional, modern, interactive, or static feature, we can help you design any water feature from vision to completion. Our WATERlab™ simulation and test-pool mock-ups cover all key design considerations, helping you to avoid delays and costly mistakes.
What makes our design process unique
Your vision is where our collaborative design process starts. Our team of designers and engineers use their expertise to work with Architects, Landscape Architects, Aquatic Designers, and contractors in order to create spaces that people will engage with and enjoy. There is no set way for you to collaborate with us. We can be involved at any part of the design journey, from the first concepts to tender drawings.
Extensive history and global experience
Through relationships with a network of international and North American partners, we understand that regional and cultural differences can influence each project. Our extensive work spans Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Southeast Asia, making us a globally recognized leader in the water feature industry. With many years navigating both AIA and RIBA design standards, we are ideally positioned to help our clients create successful projects.
WATERlab™ is the industry’s first physics-based 3D simulation, design, and programming control suite. WATERlab™ CREATE allows designers to conceptualize and create digital prototypes of their water feature through the design process. WATERlab™ CONTROL is the control and diagnostic center of the physical water feature. With WATERlab™, a water feature’s design can be imagined in advance and then deployed directly onsite with the press of a button.
Mock-up facilities and test pools
A physical mock-up can be key to a project’s success while collaborating with designers globally. Custom-designed water features often include unique water and light expressions that require physical mock-ups to explore feasibility. We recommend phased mock-ups: first in-house, then onsite. In combination with WATERlab™, this approach allows our team to study water and LED light expressions and discover new opportunities for real-world solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of water feature designs do you offer?
We specialize in a wide range of water feature designs, including traditional, contemporary, interactive, and architectural elements. Our portfolio includes outdoor & indoor fountain designs, custom water features, and large-scale public-realm & private water features for commercial and residential spaces.
How does the water feature design process work?
Our water feature design process begins with your vision and adaptable to the team’s needs. We collaborate with owners, architects, landscape architects, and contractors at any stage, from initial concepts to detailed tender drawings. Using our advanced WATERlab™ tools, we refine fountain designs to ensure safety, precision and performance before construction.
What is WATERlab™ and how does it benefit my water fountain design?
WATERlab™ is our industry-leading 3D simulation and programming suite. WATERlab™ CREATE allows us to develop digital prototypes, while WATERlab™ CONTROL manages real-time operation of water feature fountains. This technology ensures smooth execution and easy management of your custom water features.
Do you work on international water fountain features?
Yes, we have extensive experience designing water fountain features for projects across Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Southeast Asia. Our team follows AIA and RIBA design standards while adapting to regional requirements for fountain water features.
How do you ensure the feasibility of a custom water feature?
We utilize a local site and code considerations based on specific projects. We would work in phased mock-up approach, starting with in-house prototypes and moving to on-site installations. By leveraging our WATERlab™ tools, we test and refine outdoor fountain designs, ensuring functionality, durability, and aesthetic excellence.
What factors do you consider when designing a fountain water feature?
Our water feature designer team considers elements such as site context, water massing, movement, lighting placement, meaningful impact, sustainability, and seasonal adaptability. These factors ensure that every water feature fountain achieves both artistic and functional excellence.
How is the budget determined for a custom water feature design?
Each water feature design project is unique, with costs varying based on type of features, MEP requirements, complexity, site conditions, materials, union labor and maintenance requirements. We provide comprehensive assessments and expert insights to help clients based on uniqueness of each project to effectively manage the cost of their fountain designs.
What are the benefits of installing an outdoor fountain design?
A well-designed outdoor fountain design enhances aesthetics, creates an inviting ambiance, and serves as an iconic landmark. Whether for a private space or a public plaza, a custom water feature adds value and visual appeal to any environment.
Do you provide maintenance support for water fountain features?
While we primarily focus on water feature design and installation, we offer expert guidance on maintaining water fountain features. Our recommendations ensure long-term longevity, sustainability and peak performance for your fountain water feature.
