Water Wall Fountain

Exterior Worlds custom builds wall fountains for clients seeking to add dimensions, decorative flair, and a serene sensibility to specific outdoor areas devoted to special conversation of moments of contemplation. These custom-built structures are very different from the retail forms sold in home and garden store fronts. They are made from superior-grade materials, and they work as compliments to surrounding landscape elements as well as elements in their own respect.

Wall fountains are built vertically into walls. On an aesthetic level, they add a very unique decorative presence that creates a sense of special space around itself. On a functional level, they work to set aside a portion of the landscape as a place of tranquility and contemplation. Wall fountains are frequently used as terminal points for axial gardens. They are also commonly constructed near morning gardens, private patios, or garden areas based on Eastern forms representative of meditation and inner peace.

Regardless of where they are constructed, wall fountains always play a very significant role in décor. Fountains of any kind add an attraction factor to the landscape. However, when a fountain is built directly into a vertical wall, an extra sense of dimension is created by the expansion of wall space into the interior of a courtyard or landscape. These walls do not have to be brick or stone, either. Technically speaking, the interior of a swimming pool is a wall, and a fountain built into the structure of the pool and illuminated with appropriate light sourcing adds a sense of special luxury and artistic environment to one of the most popular areas of the yard.

Wall fountains are typically veneered with tile, stone, brick, or glass that can be illuminated to stand out at night. The interiors design of these structures is equally sophisticated as well. Unlike generic retail models, they have to be carefully constructed for silent operation. In many respects, they are built much like swimming pools. They must be fitted with filters, auto fills, interior lighting, plaster, tile, and skimmers. Almost all are built around a gunite basin to ensure years of reliable operability. Without exception, pumps are remotely installed in order to ensure silent operation.

Wall fountains can be built to reflect any style of landscaping design. Some are designed to intentionally fill the entire vertical space with a specific geometric theme that mirrors home architecture and general landscaping style. Others are designed to mimic forms of mythological beings, angelic figures, or objects found in nature. These images are normally chosen by the homeowner according to personal tastes, beliefs, or artistic interests.

While we may design these forms with some of the same motifs, images, and symbols as the ones used in retail fountains, we never replicate the generic in our work. In fact, we do not build these fountains as stand-alone elements or add-ons to yards. Our work is custom-built to support general landscaping themes, or to add a special nuance to a specific area of interest or outdoor structure.
