The new show fountain at the Pompeii MaxiMall in Torre Annunziata-Naples has been inaugurated.

In the middle of the modern outdoor space, every day, both during the day and in the evening, the dancing fountains show will come to life, a breathtaking show that uses surprising scenographic effects.

The water jets will reach considerable heights, moving sinuously to the rhythm of the music, in a triumph of colors, an unforgettable experience.

SIMMETRICO curated the Design and Build of the GCC Pavilion project, that aims to be a cultural landmark within Expo DOHA 2023: a manifesto of resilience, innovation and sustainability.
Six sources converge in a single center to narrate the cohesion of the six GCC countries, united in a single destiny, to share the same goal.

The springs converge through channels, a symbol of man’s wisdom in leading the precious resource, fertilizing the earth and creating a fountain with a continuous flow that envelops a bronze sphere, signifying the value of natural resources and their centrality in the process of change.

The fountain designed by the architect Mario Botta and inaugurated in 2005 is located in front of the entrance to the Sanpaolo Museum complex in Monselice.
Over the years, its functional restoration became necessary.
In fact, the lack of constant and appropriate maintenance caused degradation and the consequent proliferation of algae, mud and insects.
The restoration work that brought the fountain back to its original splendor was recently completed.

Watercube confirms his presence at the Serravalle Designer Outlet with the creation of new water features.

After those inaugurated in 2016, the intervention consists in the inclusion of new different water fountains as an enhancement of the project.

Piazza Adidas: two opposite lines of laminar jets create a water tunnel that people can walk through.

Piazza Tommy Hilfinger: outdoor cooling effect by five refrigerating stainless steel arcs with water spray.

Piazza Off-White: water stream with different height levels and small waterfalls.

New collaborations with Fincantieri and Marine Interiors.

Two different types of water features have been created on the Leonardo Two cruise ship.

Deck 17  This is a double effect fountain: water flows down on a overlapped tiles coated wall. In front and detached from the same wall, a rain curtain drips into the lower catching basin as well.

Deck 18  Here is a water park called Kids’ Splash Pool. It is a wet area where children can have fun among colorful structures and different types of water jets.

Spa & Gym Area  In this area it is installed a glass waterwall feature

This is a showreel of some WATERCUBE’s realizations. Creativity has always been a distinctive Made in Italy trait. The challenge that moves Watercube has been, since its birth, to achieve “greatness” not only by reviving the nobility of traditional Italian fountain makers through modern eyes, but also looking for the virtuous combination between creativity and engineering required in water control. Our “water architectures” are the result of an elaborated process, in which experience, technical skills, versatility and inventive blend in together, adding life, shape and substance to ideas.

The project has been updated with a new layout and new water features for increasingly amazing shows.

With built-in steps and a giant LED screen, the Flow Gallery is the beating heart of the DP World Pavilion.

The centre piece of the pavilion will be a giant digitised waterfall, extending four floors, 16 meters high and with a diameter of 6 meters.

Visitors will experience the waterfall show for contemplation and inspiration and will also get to experience the power of flow.

Ermenegildo Zegna, Winter 2021-22, Spring-Summer 2022

Zegna has set its most recent fashion shows in some urban-industrial contexts in Milan, characterized by the presence of our water creations.

The fall-winter 2021-22 collection paraded along the water basin in Piazza Olivetti, which reflects the NEXXT – Fastweb Headquarter building.

For the spring-summer 2022 collection, with the backdrop of the hanging towers by Dominique Perrault, in Rho-Milan, the models paraded walking on the water and then took their seats in a long table set up inside our fountain, to toast their newfound freedom.

The new Life Source Hotel, located 10 minutes from Orio Al Serio airport, was inaugurated on 2 September.

The innovative structure aims to stimulate the 5 senses, involving the natural elements as much as possible, thanks to various sustainable technical measures and precise architectural and engineering choices.

It is water first of all, a central element in all spaces, which welcomes with a digital fountain at the entrance – the largest in Italy, which has both a decorative and privacy function – and characterizes the hall with an internal waterfall that spread over 4 floors and is guided by polyethylene threads that act as the lighting body of the staircase.

Great success and audience at the inauguration of the Freedom Square fountain in Kharkiv, Ukraine. This interactive water feature realized by watercube is one of the biggest dry deck water features in Ukraine.

Looking to the future with hope and working for what’s to come is fundamental, these days more than ever.

Indeed, we’re happy to announce that we’ve recently been commissioned by Irgen Construction for the design, consultancy, and realization of a majestic show fountain inside the “Pompei Maximall” shopping resort.

A new installation is coming near the archeological site of Pompeii in Italy.

Watercube has been given the mandate for the design and installation of a musical fountain at the Pompeii Maximall.

In front of an outdoor square-amphitheater for events, it will be possible to admire every day the breathtaking spectacle offered by dancing water features.

Pedrollo is a world renowned brand within the electric pump sector.

On the occasion of the expansion of the main headquarters in Verona Watercube was commissioned to design and build some water features next to the new entrance.

Two marble water walls has been built inside the new Cereser Marmi showroom in Rivoli Veronese.
Each waterwall is 6m high with a length of about 9m, illuminated by special LED lights placed in the collecting tanks at the floor level.
The water features are framed by green walls and a Led Display.

On the north-eastern border of the Republic of San Marino, at the foot of the hillside that characterizes this area, One Works was commissioned to design a new luxury outlet destination to support the local community and tourism from local towns.

The project involves the inclusion of a new ornamental fountain. It is a dry deck type with interactive water jets and will be realized by watercube.

A new installation is coming.

A contract has been signed between Costruzioni Generali Gilardi and Watercube for the design and execution of some water features within The Sign Project in Milan.

“Since its initial stages, the project includes solutions to improve the livability of the area and to optimize the use of natural resources: dual water systems, rainwater collection, green roofs, innovative cooling systems, strategies to improve indoor overall quality.”

The Freedom Square is the main square of Kharkiv and an architectural landmark. It is the second largest city-center square in Europe and the ninths in the world. It is the place of every possible events: concerts, demonstrations, fairs, meetings.

The renovation project of the square includes a fountain of 36 meter diameter and it will look like one of the biggest dry deck water features in Ukraine.

After completing the design Watercube is now starting the construction phase.

The new configuration has removed part of vehicular traffic from this area making it a living space for people. Here, a mirror of water has been placed, in memory of the stream that passed through it and a wooded area characterized by holm oaks trimmed to the roof to form a pergola dedicated to meeting and resting.

The wonderful district.

Inaugurated in 1999, the Meridiana Shopping Center is, today, a meeting and reference point for shopping and leisure in the district of Bologna.

Watercube was commissioned to create a new ornamental fountain to replace the existing one in the external square.

It will be the heart of a children’s interactive play deck feature with both random and rhytmic bursts.

The redevelopment of the square has maintained the previous road structure, but the real news is however the reconfiguration of the obelisk, which has been totally redesigned by the inclusion of an elliptical fountain, similar to the historical layout of the first 1900s. Moreover, the elliptical shape allowed us to “absorb” all the geometric and perspective lack of uniformity of the area.

“AQUA. Leonardo’s vision” is a site-specific experience designed by Balich Worlwide Shows, illustrating how Leonardo worked with water. It hosts a great expanse of water featuring a LED screen that shows Milan’s future. Below the structure inside the canal, a cabinet of curiosities allows visitors to experience the beauty, energy and shape of water also thanks to cutting-edge technologies. Realized by Watercube, strobe lights modify the jets of water with an optical illusion, slowing them down to isolate them in very slow drops, suspended in time and space, reflected and multiplied in the mirrors.

Nowadays the relationship between water and creative urban design is one of the key-themes for adaptive built environment, non only with reference to the paradigm of blue-green techniques. In urbanized areas, constructed water features reconquest their complexities of meaning as spectacularized infrastructures, also related to microclimatic well-being, air pollution mitigation, acoustic comfort.

A contract has been signed between Ahmadiah Contracting & Trading Co. and Watercube for the design and execution of some water features within the Assima Project in Kuwait City.

The six levels Assima Mall will include some water features located in the Main Entrance Plaza, a water curtain at the 4th floor and a swimming pool at the 7th floor.

The new Piazza Adriano Olivetti is both space for events and green space with benches and a vast “wild” green area. Some water mirrors reflect new architectures.

Apple Piazza Liberty opened in Milan to thousands of customers who came to experience Apple’s new retail store design for the first time in Italy. The project includes both a grand public plaza and a store below. This new retail location will revitalize a piazza in the center of Milan. Just off the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, one of the most popular pedestrian streets in Milan, visitors will first see a dramatic glass fountain that serves as the entrance to the store and a backdrop to the large outdoor amphitheater.

A contract has been signed between Sice Previt S.p.A and Watercube for the execution of works, related to the realization of some water features for the new Apple Store Piazza del Liberty in Milan – Italy.

The project concerns the redevelopment of the Ortles–Ripamonti area in Milan. The concept imagines the use of water as ornamental element, with the purpose to enrich the whole project. It considers the realization of three basins, positioned to different quotas and connected to one another through a tilted stone layer with a fit texture to enphasize the water flowing. The main function of the first two basins is to create a reflecting pool effect able to duplicate the surrounding environment; the third basin is destined to house some aquatic plants.

5  water features embellish the new extension of passenger terminal recently inaugurated at Marco Polo Airport in Venice. Four of them are on the ground floor, two Water Walls with a particular texture, such as to create a series of small water veils and beside these two Elevated Water Tables, reflecting water layers bordered by a bench, that allows people to approach and interact with water. On the first floor you come across the fifth fountain, a majestic Water Wall characterized by a continuous and homogeneous water flow, without any splash or noise.

Kuwait City
This spectacular musical fountain, designed and realized by Watercube srl, is located at Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Center in Kuwait City.  This choreographed water feature is set into a 4800 square meters lake. There are different types of nozzles: rotating jets up to 20 meters, air driven nozzles up to 25 – 50 – 80 meters, special nozzles that mix water and real fire.
This fountain is a musical water feature. This means that combining properly music, light, water and fire, wonderfull shows are visible from every point of the lake promenade and neighboring structures.

Al Shaheed Park Phase 2 has officially opened. The new extension includes a parkour area, a miniature new Kuwait, a miniature old Kuwait, a multipurpose youth complex, tree top climbing obstacles, board and interactive games area, an open air performance center and a skate park. The central idea that connects the different areas is represented by a river, along which various type of water features have been realized by Watercube.

The Amiri Diwan (Al-Diwan Al-Amiri) is seen as one of the symbols of the State of Kuwait’s sovereignty. It is the headquarters and the permanent centre of the country’s rulers. In march 2017 WATERCUBE has been honoured  of a certificate of excellence for the professionalism shown in the execution of various project with AMIRI DIWAN-Kuwait.

The “Serravalle Designer Outlet” is one of the largest in Europe. The first water feature has been set up in the main Plaza and consists of various interactive water jets; if requested, the area can be flooded or dried, giving choreography of ever-changing games. Going ahead, there is something that you would not expect to see there: a huge horse head drinking in a puddle of water, an elevated reflecting water table, which overflows on the entire perimeter and generates a further vertical sliding effect called “water wall”. Finally, in the new area added to the original complex, a dry deck feature is set up with a composition of 42 interactive water jets, moving with animated sequential effects.

STEP 3.

Well, we’ve done it. Thousand of meters of electric cables and pipelines, thousand of illuminating bodies and hundreds of nozzles are to their place. We are ready for the inauguration of this amazing water fountain.

STEP 2

Work continues tirelessly, day and night, the deadline for delivery of the fountain is in October. Climatic conditions involve the organization of turns of job in the least warm hours.

STEP 1  Work has started for the realization of the most complex work we have been involved to date. This fountain will become a focal point, a center of attraction for the whole city. The main actor will be the water wich, in its various expressions with a contemplative, playful and ornamental role, will infects the viewers with its energy, plasticity, movement and sound.

The project is related to a river inside the Al Shaheed Park in Kuwait City (phase II). The river is divided in 4 main parts: the green grass part, the pebbles zone, the cascade and shore zone and the animated fountain. Inside these areas the design and realization of 9 water features has been appointed to WATERCUBE.

In recent months, Serravalle has seen its streets and squares slowly changing. The Outlet Village is growing and becoming even more comfortable and exciting: an essential destination for any shopper. The Main Plaza will be enriched with a new, wonderful and bigger fountain, but other water features will take place inside the complex.

Opening of the “Centre” in Arese, the biggest shopping centre in Italy and the third in Europe, situated in the historical Alfa Romeo area, from where some of the most beautiful cars in the history of motoring had been created. The project has considered the creation of a water feature in the external area in front of the building. It’s a basin of water with two scenographic connotations: in one case it can present a calm reflecting surface, in the other one it can be animated by sequential jets, dancing in accord to pre-arranged choreographies. Acting on the planning of a motorized valve, water floods the recessed channel that hosts the nozzles, so getting a composition of Foam Jets.

In 2013 WATERCUBE was given the charge for the supply and installation of mep components for water features to be performed for New Doha International Airport (NDIA) in Doha, Qatar. Now  the water architectures designed by the architect Citterio have taken shape at the Passenger Terminal Complex Lounges. Nine water experiences, luxurious and refined materials, stone and glass water walls, mirror finish steel basins, green walls, this is what passengers can enjoy during a relaxing permanence in the Qatar Airways Lounges.

WATERCUBE has been given by Hider Consulting Middle East Limited the mandate of designing water features for the Gold Line and Red Line North & South of the New Doha Metro in Qatar. At each entrance of several stations, a Water Wall flowing will be realized next to the escalator, while in the pedestrian walkways serving the metro entrances, a Dry Deck water feature with interactive water jets will entertain people.
