The Chalice as an indoor water feature
PRIVATE RESIDENCE,
SURREY
CLIENT:Octagon Developments
BRIEF:Create a central sculpture that will enhance the opulence of the interior of this newly created private mansion in south east England.
SOLUTION: An indoor version of our Chalice water feature, elegantly positioned on a specially designed plinth housing the reservoir, pump and filtration equipment.
The scale of this indoor water feature was calculated to create a beautiful focal point for the hall without interrupting the views through glass walls to the garden and other areas of the house. When viewed from the wrap-around first floor balcony, the Chalice's design also provides a pleasing water rotation effect.
Using the same travertine stone featured throughout the interior, the plinth provides maximum accessibility for maintenance without compromising visual impact. It is topped with a single carved block which allows excess water to flow smoothly back into the reservoir tank.
When the hall lighting is muted or turned off, hidden LED lighting illuminates the indoor water feature to stunning effect.
