Infinity Fountain
Camping Marina di Venezia, Cavallino-Treporti (VE)

As part of the construction of the new "WC 5" restrooms at Camping Marina di Venezia, the fountain was conceived as a water feature perfectly integrated into the interior architecture.
The composition follows rigorous axial symmetry. On two opposing, mirrored sides are two small steel blades, from which the water flows into two opposing linear channels below.
  The channels guide the flow toward the centre of the composition, creating a true water distribution corridor. At the end of its course, the water pours onto the mirrored upper surface of a central cube, from which it overflows uniformly along the four sides, forming a continuous veil. The flow is finally collected in the in-ground perimeter basin, located at the base of the cube, and reintroduced into the fountain's recirculation circuit.
The underground basin houses four pumps for creating the water feature and for water treatment and recirculation: one feeds the uniform overflow of the central cube, two others feed the lateral channels, ensuring the continuity and regularity of the flow, while a fourth pump is dedicated to mechanical filtration and water recirculation, helping to maintain its quality and clarity.
  The material continuity is ensured by the combination of the steel elements and the large-format tile cladding. The removable cladding over the recessed collection basin keeps the overall geometry clean while maintaining accessibility to the technical components during maintenance.
The lighting is provided by a white LED bar, positioned around the perimeter of the base of the cube and integrated into the profiles, which highlights the textures created by the flowing water and provides a more subtle interpretation of the composition in the evening hours.
  The fountain operates using a closed-loop system, allowing for continuous water reuse thanks to a dedicated filtration and recirculation system. Chemical water treatment is handled by a panel equipped with a dual dosing pump, automatically adding acid and chlorine.
The automatic filling system maintains a constant water volume. If the water level is low, a protection device automatically stops the pumps, preventing dry running, which could cause damage to the motors.
The distinctive feature of the control panel is the integrated fountain management via the My Fountain app, which allows remote and real-time control of the main operating parameters.
