ABOUT US

For over 30 years, Water Studio has designed and built contemporary, site-specific water features for both indoor and outdoor environments. Each project is thoughtfully tailored to its architectural setting and intended experience, ranging from refined water walls to complex, large-scale fountains.

WATER STUDIO TEAM

The dedicated team at Water Studio delivers exceptional service from concept through completion. Our shared mission is to collaborate with clients to create enduring water features that become the centerpiece of any space.

Our design team, composed of project managers with backgrounds in architecture and engineering, oversees the technical and managerial aspects of each project. Beyond general project management, they produce detailed drawings and specifications to ensure clear communication with architects, builders, and clients.

Supporting them, our fabrication team brings exceptional skill in metal and stone craftsmanship. By fabricating and testing all components in-house, we ensure each water feature performs flawlessly on site.

Finally, our on-site installation and construction team handles every aspect of local projects, providing complete installation services, final start-up, and adjustments to guarantee optimal performance and a seamless experience.
