01 The brief
The architectural challenge
A glazed atrium at the heart of a new villa - planted, full of light and completely silent. The architect wanted sound and movement without a pond.
02 The specification
A rain column with a brushed metal manifold and reservoir, a botanical core and a low-splash rain curtain, on a closed recirculating loop.
- Unit
- Rain Column
- Setting
- Indoor atrium
- Water
- Closed-loop, low splash
- Finish
- Brushed metal, preserved botanicals
03 The installation
Positioned on the atrium axis, levelled, filled and balanced so the curtain falls evenly all the way round.
04 The result
The atrium is no longer silent. The sound of rain carries through the ground floor.
The piece
Rain Column
A cylindrical tension-line cascade: a continuous, low-splash rain curtain wrapped in preserved botanicals.
