Challenge
The Volute was developed around the dramatic movement of an air-core vortex. Water flows across the upper surface before being drawn into the central vortex, creating a constantly changing interaction between water, reflection and movement.
Developing The Volute required more than a year of research and development. Creating the distinctive vessel and water effect presented a number of complex manufacturing and engineering challenges, requiring specialist materials and manufacturing techniques to achieve the quality and long-term performance we wanted.
The resulting design combines the visual simplicity of a contemporary water sculpture with considerable specialist engineering and development hidden within it.
Solution
The Volute was developed around the dramatic movement of an air-core vortex. Water flows across the upper surface before being drawn into the central vortex, creating a constantly changing interaction between water, reflection and movement.
Developing the design required more than a year of research and development. The proportions of the vessel, water flow and hydraulic system all had to work together to create the distinctive vortex while maintaining the sculptural form of the feature.
The resulting design combines the visual simplicity of a contemporary water sculpture with complex water engineering hidden within it.
Benefit
The Volute creates a very different experience from the other water sculptures in the Tills collection. Its clear water, reflections and central air-core vortex create an energetic focal point, with movement and sound continually drawing attention back to the water.
Behind its seemingly simple sculptural form is considerable development, specialist manufacture and water engineering. The result is a distinctive, self-contained water feature where the complexity remains hidden and the water takes centre stage.
For designers and private clients, The Volute offers an established Tills design in which the technical and manufacturing challenges have already been resolved.
