Landscape Architect & Specifier’s June, 2017 issue features a Southern Aquatics project, Century Link Campus. Century Link is a S&P 500 telecommunications company with is headquarters located in Monroe, LA. The 2.2 acre courtyard serves to connect the office building and technology center with multiple spaces to provide dynamic character. Southern Aquatics was able to assist in bringing landscape architecture firm, EDGE’s vision to life.
SAI Fountains is excited to be selected to build the Ohio Veteran’s Memorial Monument, designed by the creative minds at The Olin Studio with CMS Collaborative as the Fountain Consultant.
Southern Aquatics will begin construction on an interactive fountain located in Moore Square Park.
Moore Square Park is located in the historic capital of North Carolina, Raleigh. The park improvements include a new central lawn, planted areas, pedestrian walkways and gathering spaces, sidewalk improvements, site lighting and furnishings, a play area, integrated public art, and a jet-field water feature.
Construction is still underway as Southern Aquatics works hard to create a beautiful fountain for the new Scioto Peninsula Park and Garage, located in Columbus, OH.
The park will have beautiful themed gardens including a plaza, an area for children to play and a large-scale fountain. This can be seen in the renderings below.
Southern Aquatics recently completed Marcum Park in Hamilton, OH.
SAI Fountains constructed the river playscape and that can be seen below.
Southern Aquatics Inc. recently finished an interactive fountain in Cleveland Public Square, Cleveland Ohio.
The need for the newly renovated square stemmed in part by the Republican National Convention, which was held just steps away on July 18. Also the city has been making efforts to improve parks throughout, resulting in Cleveland being more inviting and enjoyable for its residents.
Southern Aquatics Inc is near the completion of project Park Van Ness in Washington D.C.
Park Van Ness is a 271-unit residential project with approximately 9,000 square feet of street-level retail, below street-level structured parking, and amenities including a community room, landscaped courtyards, a fitness room and a rooftop pool and deck.
Historically, fountains have largely been a symbol of wealth, power, grace and artistry. In retrospect, arguably the most iconic fountain of the past, the Latona Fountain in Versailles, adorned the majestic royal palace.
While fountains are much more accessible now, their role and significance has not diminished. Thankfully, with the advent of mass production and advanced manufacturing methods, royalty is no longer necessary to own fountain.
For over 13 years, SAI has strived to create exemplary fountains and water features by leading the industry in quality, innovation and teamwork. With that being said, it is always nice for our work to be noticed, specifically by well-known media outlets like, “Landscape Architect and Specifier News” or “LandscapeOnline.com.”
Building a fountain from the bottom up
Fountains are a wonderful display of power, grace and engineering. Whether indoor or outdoor, a fountain emits a performance not many can resist watching. A well-designed fountain enriches the surrounding area and provides many benefits beyond just entertainment and serenity.
