For more than 15 years we have managed to build a huge number of fountains in different countries of the world. Our works can be seen all over Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania and other countries. We can provide a map or list of all of our fountain locations upon request. Private tours or on-site consultations are also available.

The classification of fountains is extremely diverse, and DION ART STUDIO offers a full spectrum of solutions – from classic to ultra-modern, interactive, and multimedia. Here are the main types of fountains that we design and build:

• Static Fountains:The most traditional type of fountain, where water is delivered through nozzles, creating a constant, unchanging water display. They can be simple (a single jet) or complex (multi-tiered compositions with various types of nozzles). Suitable for parks, squares, and private residences. Keywords: static fountain, classic fountain, traditional fountain, garden fountain, simple fountain.
• Dynamic Fountains:Fountains in which the water display changes over time. This is achieved by varying the height of the jets, turning different nozzles on/off, and using variable-speed pumps. They create a more spectacular effect than static fountains. Keywords: dynamic fountain, changing fountain, water feature, programmable fountain, animated fountain.
• Musical (Choreographed) Fountains:Fountains in which water effects are synchronized with music and lighting effects. They create an impressive show that attracts a large number of spectators. Used in parks, squares, and entertainment centers. Keywords: musical fountain, dancing fountain, water show, fountain show, light and music fountain, commercial fountain show.
• Dynamic Light Fountains:Fountains in which the main emphasis is on the dynamic change of lighting effects. The water jets can be either static or dynamic, but the main feature is the play of light and color. Keywords: light fountain, illuminated fountain, color-changing fountain, dynamic lighting fountain, architectural fountain lighting.
• Interactive (Play, “Dry”) Fountains:Fountains with which people (most often children) can interact. Water jets appear unexpectedly, creating a sense of play and fun. Often installed in pedestrian squares, amusement parks, and shopping centers. They do not have a visible pool, which is why they are called “dry.” Keywords: interactive fountain, play fountain, splash pad, dry fountain, ground fountain, pop jet fountain.
• Floating Fountains:Fountains installed on pontoons on the surface of a body of water (lake, pond, river). Suitable for locations where building a stationary fountain is impossible. They can be static, dynamic, or musical. Keywords: floating fountain, lake fountain, pond fountain, floating water feature, aerating fountain.
• Architectural Fountains:Fountains integrated into the architectural ensemble of a building or structure. They can be part of the facade, courtyard, or atrium. They emphasize the architectural style and create a special atmosphere. Keywords: architectural fountain, water wall, indoor fountain, building fountain, integrated water feature.
• Fountains with Small Architectural Forms:Fountains integrated into sculptural compositions, vases, bowls, and other elements of landscape design. Keywords: sculptural fountain, fountain with sculpture, garden fountain, small water feature, decorative fountain.
• Waterfalls and Cascades:Artificial water flows that mimic natural waterfalls. They can be of different heights and widths, with various types of water outflow. Keywords: waterfall, cascade, water feature, artificial waterfall, landscape waterfall.

Interactive fountains, also known as “play,” “dry,” or “deck” fountains, represent a fundamentally new type of water feature designed for direct interaction with people. Unlike traditional fountains, where water collects in a visible pool, interactive fountains typically do not have an open body of water; instead, the water jets shoot directly from the surface of the plaza. This makes them safe for play and recreation, especially for children.

Key features of interactive fountains:

• Absence of a visible pool:Water is supplied from nozzles located directly in the plane of the paving (usually tiles or pavers) and immediately drains into a hidden drainage system. This creates the feeling that the jets are shooting straight out of the ground. Keywords: dry fountain, ground fountain, pop jet fountain, splash pad, deck fountain.
• Interactivity:The main feature is the ability to interact with the water. People can run between the jets, play with them, and control their height and direction (in some models). This is achieved through the use of special sensors that respond to movement, touch, or sound. Keywords: interactive fountain, play fountain, sensory fountain, responsive fountain, user-controlled fountain.
• Dynamism:The water jets in interactive fountains are usually not static, but change their height, shape, and intensity, creating an effect of surprise and fun. The fountain’s operating programs can be programmed for various scenarios, including musical ones. Keywords: dynamic fountain, animated fountain, programmable fountain, water show, dancing fountain.
• Safety:The absence of an open pool minimizes the risk of falling and drowning, making interactive fountains safe for children of all ages. The surface of the plaza is usually made of non-slip materials. Keywords: safe fountain, children’s fountain, splash park, water playground, family-friendly fountain.
• Versatility:Interactive fountains can be installed in almost any location – in city squares, parks, shopping centers, waterfronts, and playgrounds. They do not require complex construction and can be adapted to various sizes and shapes of the area. Keywords: urban fountain, public fountain, commercial fountain, plaza fountain, park fountain.

Technologies used in interactive fountains:

• Motion sensors: Respond to the presence of people, triggering or changing the operation of the fountain.
• Touch panels: Allow users to control the operation of the fountain (select modes, change the height of the jets, turn on music).
• Programmable controllers: Control the operation of pumps, valves, and lighting, creating various water and light effects.
• Filtration and water treatment systems: Ensure the cleanliness and safety of the water.
• LED lighting: Allows you to create bright and colorful water shows in the dark.

Interactive fountains are not just water attractions, but also an important element of the urban environment, creating points of attraction, stimulating social activity, and increasing the attractiveness of public spaces.

The construction time for a turnkey fountain is one of the key questions that interests our clients (architects, developers, municipal representatives, and commercial property owners). DION ART STUDIO has extensive experience in implementing projects of varying complexity, and we can confidently say that the average construction time for a fountain is from 4 to 6 months. However, this period may vary depending on a number of factors:

• Type and complexity of the fountain:A simple static fountain, of course, will be built faster than a complex musical or interactive fountain with a large number of nozzles, a complex control system, and lighting. Keywords: fountain construction time, fountain installation time, fountain building timeline, project duration.
• Size of the fountain:The larger the area of the fountain, the more time it will take to build it. This is due to the larger volume of earthworks, laying of utilities, and installation of equipment. Keywords: large fountain construction, small fountain construction, fountain size impact.
• Presence of a ready-made fountain basin:If the site already has a ready-made fountain basin (for example, during the reconstruction of an existing object), this significantly reduces construction time. If the basin needs to be built from scratch, this will require additional earthworks, concreting, and waterproofing. Keywords: fountain basin construction, fountain bowl construction, existing fountain basin, new fountain basin.
• Site conditions:Difficult terrain, the presence of underground utilities, a high groundwater level – all these factors can complicate and slow down the construction process. Keywords: site conditions, ground conditions, underground utilities, site preparation.
• Climatic conditions:Construction of a fountain in regions with harsh climates (for example, with a long winter) may be suspended during the cold period, which increases the overall project completion time. Keywords: weather conditions, climate impact, winter construction, seasonal construction.
• Individual project features:Non-standard design solutions, the use of unique materials or technologies, a complex control system – all this may require additional time. Keywords: custom fountain design, unique fountain features, complex fountain system, bespoke fountain construction.
• Equipment delivery times:The time it takes to manufacture and deliver equipment, especially if it is ordered from foreign manufacturers, can significantly affect the overall construction time. Keywords: equipment delivery time, lead time, supply chain, manufacturing time.
• Approval times:The time required to obtain permits and approvals from various authorities can also affect project timelines. Keywords: permits, approvals, regulatory compliance, building codes.

Main stages of fountain construction that affect the timeline:

1. Design: Development of project documentation (from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on complexity).
2. Site preparation: Earthworks, foundation construction, laying of utilities.
3. Construction of the fountain basin: Concreting, waterproofing, finishing.
4. Equipment installation: Installation of pumps, nozzles, filters, control system, and lighting.
5. Commissioning: Testing of all systems, adjustment of operating modes, programming (for dynamic and musical fountains).

DION ART STUDIO always strives to optimize the construction process to minimize project completion time without compromising quality. We create a detailed work schedule, coordinate the actions of all contractors, and inform the client about the progress of work at each stage.

Yes, DION ART STUDIO performs a full range of fountain design work, including the development of all necessary project documentation. We understand that a high-quality project is the foundation for the successful implementation of any construction project, and we pay special attention to this stage.

Components of project documentation:

• Conceptual Design (CD):Includes the overall concept of the fountain, its appearance, location on the site, and main technical solutions. The CD is developed to agree on the overall vision of the project with the client. Keywords: fountain concept design, preliminary design, fountain sketch, fountain visualization.
• Construction Documents (CD):A detailed project that includes all necessary drawings, specifications, calculations, and explanatory notes. The CD serves as the basis for construction and installation work. Keywords: fountain construction drawings, fountain technical drawings, fountain specifications, fountain blueprints.

• • Architectural and Structural Solutions (AS): Drawings of the fountain basin, foundations, and structural elements.
  • Technological Solutions (TS): Diagrams of the location of equipment, piping, nozzles, and lighting.
  • Electrical Supply and Lighting (ESL): Diagrams of the connection of electrical equipment, plans for the placement of lighting fixtures, and equipment specifications.
  • Automation System (AS): Diagrams of the automatic control of the fountain’s operation and equipment specifications.
  • Cost Estimate Documentation: Calculation of the cost of fountain construction.

• 3D Visualization:Allows the client to see what the fountain will look like in reality, to evaluate its appearance, water effects, and lighting. Keywords: fountain 3D model, fountain rendering, fountain visualization, fountain animation.
• Construction Work Plan (CWP):A document that regulates the organization and technology of construction and installation work. Keywords: fountain construction plan, fountain installation plan, project management plan.

Cost of design work:

The cost of developing project documentation for a fountain depends on many factors, such as:

• Project complexity: Type of fountain (static, dynamic, musical, interactive), number of nozzles, presence of complex water effects, use of non-standard solutions.
• Fountain size: Area of the basin, height of the jets, amount of equipment.
• Scope of project documentation: The volume of documentation to be developed (full set or individual sections).
• Need for expert review: If the project requires state or non-state expert review, this increases the cost of work.

On average, the cost of design work is 5% of the total cost of fountain construction. For an accurate cost calculation, we need to receive a technical assignment or a completed questionnaire from the client. DION ART STUDIO guarantees high-quality project documentation, compliance with all applicable norms and regulations.

The number of musical tracks programmed for a DION ART STUDIO musical (choreographed) fountain depends on the client’s wishes and the project budget. We do not set strict limits and are ready to offer various options to meet the needs of our clients.

Standard Package: Typically, we suggest including 20 musical compositions as part of the basic service package. This number is sufficient to provide a variety of shows and avoid the repertoire becoming quickly repetitive for viewers. The tracks are selected taking into account the overall concept of the fountain, the target audience, and the client’s wishes. These can be classical pieces, modern popular tunes, or music specially composed for the fountain. Keywords: musical fountain tracks, fountain music playlist, fountain show repertoire, fountain music selection, custom fountain music.

Expanded Package: At the client’s request, we can create any number of additional musical tracks. The cost of each additional track is negotiated separately and depends on the complexity of programming the water and lighting effects, as well as the need to acquire licensing rights for the use of the musical work. Keywords: additional fountain music, custom fountain soundtrack, fountain music licensing, fountain show programming.

The process of creating a musical show:

1. Music Selection:We help the client choose musical works that best suit the concept of the fountain and its target audience. We consider the genre, tempo, mood of the music, as well as its duration.
2. Licensing:If the selected works are protected by copyright, we help the client obtain the necessary licenses for their use.
3. Programming:Our specialists (programmers, water show choreographers) create a unique fountain control program, synchronizing water movements, lighting effects, and music. Specialized software is used to precisely adjust the operation of each nozzle and each light fixture in accordance with the rhythm and dynamics of the musical work. Keywords: fountain show programming, water choreography, fountain control software, fountain show design.
4. Testing and Debugging:After programming, we test the show on-site, make the necessary adjustments, and perfect the program.

It is important to note that we do not simply “fit” music to the operation of the fountain, but create a complete artistic work where water, light, and music merge into a single whole, evoking vivid emotions and unforgettable impressions in the audience.

The main difference between a musical (choreographed) fountain and a dynamic light fountain lies in the degree of synchronization of water and lighting effects with music. Both types of fountains belong to the category of dynamic fountains, that is, those in which the water display changes over time, but their operating principles and the effect produced differ.

Musical (Choreographed) Fountain:

• Full Synchronization: In a musical fountain, every movement of water, every lighting effect is strictly synchronized with the musical work. The height of the jets, their shape, the color of the lighting, the speed of changing effects – all this is subordinated to the rhythm, melody, and dynamics of the music. It creates the feeling that the water is “dancing” to the music. Keywords: musical fountain, dancing fountain, water show, fountain show, synchronized fountain, music and water.
• Complex Programming: Requires meticulous and painstaking work by programmers and water show choreographers who create a unique program for each musical track. Specialized software is used, allowing you to control the operation of each nozzle and each light fixture with an accuracy of a fraction of a second. Keywords: fountain show programming, water choreography, fountain control software, fountain show design.
• Spectacular Show: A musical fountain is a full-fledged performance, a mesmerizing spectacle that evokes strong emotions in viewers.
• High Cost (continued): Due to the complexity of programming and the need to use more powerful and precise equipment, musical fountains are generally more expensive than dynamic light fountains.

Dynamic Light Fountain:

• Partial Synchronization: In a dynamic light fountain, the main focus is on the dynamic change of lighting effects. The water jets can be either static or dynamic, but their movement is not necessarily strictly synchronized with the music (or music may be absent altogether). Lighting effects (changing color, brightness, flickering) can be programmed for various scenarios, creating a beautiful play of light on the water. Keywords: light fountain, illuminated fountain, color-changing fountain, dynamic lighting fountain, architectural fountain lighting.
• Simpler Programming: Programming a dynamic light fountain is simpler than a musical fountain, as it does not require the same precise synchronization with music.
• Decorative Effect: A dynamic light fountain creates a beautiful, constantly changing light pattern on the water, enhancing the space at night.
• Lower Cost: Generally, dynamic light fountains are less expensive than musical fountains, as they require less complex equipment and programming.

Therefore, if the main goal is to create an impressive show where the water “dances” to the music, then a musical fountain is chosen. If it is more important to create a beautiful, dynamically changing light pattern on the water, then a dynamic light fountain is suitable. DION ART STUDIO offers both options, helping the client choose the optimal solution depending on their objectives and budget.

Yes, DION ART STUDIO always creates 3D visualizations of fountains during the design phase, at the client’s request. This is an integral part of our work, allowing the client (architect, developer, municipal representative, commercial property owner) to see what the future fountain will look like in reality, even before construction begins.

Advantages of 3D visualization:

• Clarity:3D visualization provides a much more complete and realistic representation of the fountain’s appearance than drawings or sketches. The client can evaluate the shape of the basin, the height and arrangement of the jets, the color scheme, the lighting, and how the fountain fits into the surrounding space. Keywords: fountain 3D model, fountain rendering, fountain visualization, fountain animation, fountain design preview.
• Accuracy:The 3D model is created based on the exact dimensions and technical parameters of the future fountain. This helps to avoid errors and shortcomings during the design and construction phases.
• Possibility of making changes:If the client is not satisfied with something in the initial version, we can quickly make changes to the 3D model to take all their wishes into account. This saves time and money, as it avoids alterations during the construction phase.
• Demonstration of water effects:3D visualization allows not only to show the static view of the fountain but also to demonstrate how it will work in dynamics. We can create an animation showing various water effects (jet height, changing lighting colors, operation in different modes). Keywords: fountain animation, water effects simulation, fountain show preview, dynamic fountain visualization.
• Marketing tool:High-quality 3D visualization can be used to present the project to investors, potential tenants, or buyers (in the case of commercial real estate). This helps to create a positive impression and increase the attractiveness of the project.

Process of creating 3D visualization:

1. Obtaining the technical assignment: We receive information from the client about the type of fountain, its dimensions, desired water effects, color preferences, etc.
2. Creating the 3D model: Based on the technical assignment, our specialists create a three-dimensional model of the fountain, using one of the world’s best specialized software programs, Syncronorm (Germany).
3. Texturing and lighting: Textures (basin finishing materials, surface coatings) are applied to the model, and lighting (day and night) is set up.
4. Rendering: The process of creating a photorealistic image or video based on the 3D model.
5. Presentation to the client: We present the finished 3D visualization (static images or animation) to the client, discuss it, and make adjustments if necessary.

DION ART STUDIO uses the most modern 3D visualization technologies to create the most realistic and impressive images and videos, helping our clients make informed decisions and realize their boldest ideas.

The cost of building a musical (choreographed) fountain is always an individual calculation, depending on many factors.

Building a fountain, especially in a public place, requires obtaining a number of permits and approvals. The list of permits may vary depending on the location of the object, the type of fountain, its size, and other factors.

Main types of permits and approvals:

• Building permit:In most cases, a building permit is required to build a stationary fountain, as a fountain is a capital construction object. To obtain a permit, it is necessary to provide project documentation that has passed expert review (if required). Keywords: fountain building permit, fountain construction permit, fountain construction approval.
• Project approval by the architectural and town planning council:If the fountain is installed in the historical center of the city or on the territory of a cultural heritage object, project approval by the architectural and town planning council or other body responsible for preserving the historical appearance of the city may be required. Keywords: architectural approval, design review board, heritage site approval.
• Approval by the authorities responsible for landscaping:If the fountain is installed on city territory (in a park, on a square, on a waterfront), project approval may be required by the authorities responsible for landscaping. Keywords: city planning approval, landscape design approval, public works approval.
• Approval by utility owners:If the construction of the fountain affects existing utilities (water supply, sewerage, electricity), it is necessary to obtain approval from the owners of these utilities. Keywords: utility company approval, utility connection permit, underground utilities clearance.
• Permit for connection to water supply and sewerage:For fountains that use water from the city water supply and discharge wastewater into the sewer system, it is necessary to obtain a permit to connect to these networks. Keywords: water connection permit, sewer connection permit, water usage permit.
• Permit for land use:If the land plot on which the fountain is planned to be built is in municipal or state ownership, a permit for the use of this plot may be required. Keywords: land use permit, site plan approval, property owner consent.
• Environmental impact assessment:In some cases, especially when building large fountains or fountains that use natural bodies of water, an environmental impact assessment of the project may be required. Keywords: environmental impact assessment, environmental permit, water quality permit.

Choosing the right location for a fountain is one of the key factors that determine its success and effectiveness. DION ART STUDIO helps its clients determine the optimal location for the fountain, taking into account both aesthetic and practical aspects.

Aesthetic factors:

• Visibility: The fountain should be clearly visible from different vantage points to attract attention and serve as a decoration of the space. Keywords: fountain visibility, fountain view, fountain focal point, fountain sightlines.
• Surrounding landscape: The fountain should fit harmoniously into the surrounding landscape, complement it, and emphasize its beauty. The style of architecture, landscaping, and the presence of other objects (sculptures, benches, paths) should be taken into account. Keywords: fountain landscape integration, fountain site context, fountain surroundings.
• Architectural context: If the fountain is installed near a building or structure, it should match its architectural style. Keywords: architectural fountain, fountain and building integration, fountain design context.
• Target audience: When choosing a location, it is necessary to consider who will be the main visitors to the fountain (children, adults, tourists). For example, an interactive fountain is suitable for a children’s playground, and a more strict and laconic one is suitable for a business center.
• Lighting: Consider how the fountain is illuminated.

Practical factors:

• Availability of utilities: The necessary utilities (water supply, sewerage, electricity) must be connected to the fountain installation site. Keywords: fountain utilities, fountain water supply, fountain power supply, fountain drainage.
• Groundwater level: A high groundwater level can complicate the construction of the fountain basin and require additional waterproofing costs. Keywords: groundwater level, fountain foundation, fountain waterproofing.
• Soil bearing capacity: The weight of the fountain, especially a large one, can be significant. It is necessary to make sure that the soil can withstand this load. Keywords: soil bearing capacity, fountain weight, foundation design.
• Accessibility for maintenance: The fountain must be easily accessible for maintenance personnel and equipment. Keywords: fountain access, fountain maintenance access, service access.
• Safety: The fountain should not create obstacles for pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and should also be safe for children (especially if it is an interactive fountain). Keywords: fountain safety, pedestrian safety, child safety.
• Wind protection: In windy areas, fountains with lower jets should be chosen, or wind sensors should be installed to automatically adjust the height of the jets depending on the wind strength. Keywords: wind protection, wind sensor, fountain wind resistance.
• Proximity to trees: It is not recommended to install a fountain in close proximity to trees, as falling leaves and branches can clog the filtration system.

A fountain has a positive effect on the microclimate of the surrounding area, especially in hot and dry weather. DION ART STUDIO designs fountains that not only decorate the space but also make it more comfortable to be in.

Main effects:

• Air humidification:Evaporation of water from the surface of the fountain increases air humidity, which is especially important in hot and dry climates. Humidified air is easier to breathe, and the feeling of dry skin and mucous membranes is reduced. Keywords: air humidification, fountain humidity, microclimate improvement, cooling effect.
• Temperature reduction:Evaporation of water requires energy, which is taken from the surrounding air, leading to its cooling. The cooling effect is most noticeable in the immediate vicinity of the fountain. Keywords: temperature reduction, cooling effect, fountain cooling, microclimate control.
• Air purification:Water jets and droplets of the fountain capture dust and other pollutants from the air, making it cleaner. Keywords: air purification, dust reduction, air quality improvement, fountain air cleaning.
• Air ionization:When water is sprayed, negatively charged ions (aeroions) are formed, which have a beneficial effect on human health, increase efficiency, and improve mood. Keywords: air ionization, negative ions, air quality improvement, health benefits.
• Noise reduction:The sound of water from a fountain can mask other, less pleasant sounds (for example, traffic noise), creating a calmer and more relaxing atmosphere. Keywords: noise reduction, sound masking, white noise, calming sound.
• Creating cool zones.

Enhancing the effect:

• Use of fog nozzles:Create a fine water spray that enhances the effect of humidification and air cooling. Keywords: fog fountain, mist fountain, cooling fog, humidification fog.
• Increasing the water surface area:The larger the water surface area of the fountain, the stronger the humidification and cooling effect.
• Creating shade:Installing a fountain in the shade of trees or awnings enhances the cooling effect.
• Downwind location:If you place the fountain downwind of the prevailing wind direction, the cool and humid air will spread over a larger area.

DION ART STUDIO takes all these factors into account when designing fountains to create not only beautiful but also beneficial objects for the environment.
