About This Project
The challenge presented was to create an interesting focal point to join a collage of commercial buildings that shared a courtyard in downtown Darien, CT. Cardello Architects was to create a fountain with a basin area as a gathering point for local shoppers. We went one step further by integrating a fire element alongside cast, limestone elements, and custom bronze work. Interestingly enough, the fountain was to be run year-round. This required us to address the technical plumbing challenges that came with keeping the water moving throughout the winter months.
