Challenge

The entrance foyer presented a dramatic, double-height space approaching 8 metres high. The water feature needed sufficient scale to become a genuine focal point within the architecture, while creating something visitors would not expect from a conventional water wall.

Access presented an additional challenge. Components had to pass through standard pedestrian doors, while the finished water surface needed to appear continuous without the visible panel joints normally associated with a water wall of this height.

Solution

The solution was the AquaVeil® Water Wall. Rather than water flowing across a solid panel, water travels over the AquaVeil® mesh, creating a constantly changing three-dimensional surface in which the water itself becomes the dominant visual element.

The system could be manufactured in components capable of passing through the restricted entrance and assembled within the foyer, while the continuous mesh allowed the finished water surface to rise almost 8 metres without conventional panel joints.

The AquaVeil® was positioned away from the building wall, allowing the water to appear suspended within the space. Integrated lighting emphasises the movement and texture of the water, while filtration and water treatment systems provide the practical engineering required for its commercial environment.
