The concept is a relaxing 8' tower of terraced rockwork with a series of cascading falls ending in a main pool below. Planter pockets will add green accents throughout and a hidden pump in the main pool will supply the regulated recirculated flow.
As always, it starts with a concept sketch, below:
Then the foam foundation is started. It is very 'sculpt-able' at this point so the clients can make suggestions and add or remove aspects as it evolves. After the textured and colored fiber fiberglass is added, the foam will be carved out of the back making it a structural, naturalistic hollow shell. Water can even be run over the foam to make sure the flow and paths are as desired.
Last pic from the shop. After fiber glassing and coloring.
Of course, it arrived in the rain..!
Base in place.
Top half not in place yet - it was the heaviest!
Finally assembled and plumbed.
Installation in place and water flowing. Still to evolve, but looking great!
Concept sketch for reference (we had to tone down the water to cut down on splatter..):
