Project details

• Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA
• Client: Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland
• Year of completion: 2024
• Dimensions (H × W × D): 3 m × 6 m × 0.5 m

Client’s task

Create an expressive interior center of attraction that:

• harmoniously combines natural materials and modern design;
• will give visitors multisensory experience (water, light, texture, greenery);
• will become a photogenic point and relaxation area in the large hall;
• will emphasize the status of the site and its openness to contemporary art.

Our solution

• Composition. 30 panels of art glass (500 × 500 mm) and a central slab of natural agate measuring 2.5 × 1 m, connected by cascades of water; green accents enhance the natural aesthetic.
• Light and water. Dynamic reflections on glass and stone, soft lighting, adjustable water flow modes – from calm flow to a more active scene.
• Materials and durability. Wear-resistant structures, waterproof light modules, filtration and water circulation systems for stable operation in high-traffic conditions.
• Integration into space. The fountain is designed as functional art element : It centers the atrium without overwhelming navigation and visitor flows.
• Process. Production and installation took 4 months – from concept and engineering to commissioning.

Result

• “Aqua Cascata Cleveland” became the hallmark of the hall, strengthening the image of the center and increasing the involvement of visitors.
• The installation creates a stable flow of organic content on social networks and increases the time guests spend in the fountain area.
• The combination of water, light and natural materials creates the effect of a living space: during the day – a bright oasis, in the evening – an expressive light scene.
