FLOW - Sustainable Drinking Fountain
Flow is an environmentally conscientious drinking fountain, designed for installation in Drying Greens Park, located in Sydney, Australia. The design language used is sympathetic to existing street furniture found throughout the suburbs of Sydney.
Through the use of LCA, consideration has been given to entire life cycle of this product. Materials, manufacturing and assembly processes were all selected based on a “Design for Disassembly” methodology.
To improve serviceability, FLOW has been designed to utilise standard, prefabricated plumbing components.
FLOW was developed simultaneously with SPAN, my six seat bench design.
