Today we are manipulating water in ways that is very different from the past. Modern fountains are more about movement, light, imagery and sound than ever before. Animated dry deck fountains create an interactive water displays yet the viewers can not see the pool. Water walls drop water from considerable heights yet make little splash. Laminar jets allow us to send clear rods of water filled with light over people’s heads yet they don’t get wet. We can start and stop streams of water in a millisecond creating slugs of that look like clear projectiles. Today we incorporate fire, color changing light, projected images, music, and fog like never before. Thanks to computers programming all of these stimuli is quite simple.
Yet in other cases designers are celebrating waters best attribute, its reflective ability, to create serene settings that highlight the natural and architectural assets of the environment. Using materials such as stainless steel, fiber glass, carbon fiber, aluminum, glass tile, granite slabs, glass, plastic, and marble in new ways has allowed us to create water structures that are cleaner, lighter, thinner and yet more dramatic.
Color changing LED lights allow us to create a virtually endless variety of colors and to place lights in places that it would have been simply impossible to do so.
New pumps that use only a fraction of the electricity as before are becoming common place and allow us to slowly increase and decrease their slow or create massive surges of flow.
The last 20 years has been a revolutionary time for fountain design and construction and during that time OuterSpaces Fountains has been at the leading edge of implementing these technologies in the Philadelphia and Mid Atlantic region.
If you are an architect, landscape architect, interior designer, or property owner interested in creating a truly exceptional modern contemporary fountain or water feature OuterSpaces Fountains is more than up to the task of helping to make your vision reality.
We specialize in the unique and challenging, the avant-garde and daring, the sophisticated and extraordinary. When it comes to materials we explore all options and bring choice to the table that are of exceptional quality and durability. Our level of technical knowledge in the field of automation and programming is world class and we have experience on multiple operating platforms. Fabrication of radically new structures and shapes is a common event for us. Lastly, working as a supportive and positive design team member that understands a sophisticated architectural language is where we thrive.
