Carmel Fuente

The Carmel family consists of a tree surround and a fountain, its design acting as a transition between the generally orthogonal geometry of the paving and the circular perimeter surrounding a planted tree or the drinking fountain.

The hygienic spout is protected by two flaps that prevent direct contact with the user’s mouth. The drive mechanism is a chrome-plated timed push button that is easy to use.

It has a etched concrete base, a cast aluminum ring fitted to the base, a nuanced column in stainless steel sheeting, and a cast aluminum upper tray. The water drainage channel is made of polished stainless steel and is open-ended. The tap mechanism is a commercially available timer button that is easy to install.

The concrete base is recessed into the paving. It supports the cylindrical body of the fountain and contains a box with a cut-off valve for connecting to the water mains, facilitating the assembly of the unit. The base also includes a drain trap system.
