//Tranquil. Calm. Quiet. These three words are the exact opposite of what Torontonian hustle and bustle is. This new fountain design will offer a calm place for the residents residing in the area to relax. This quiet time is especially important for city people.//

//Imagine the sound of softly running water surrounding you in such a tranquil place. The area will also be a wonderful place for the elderly to walk in and yoga fanatics from around the world will be attracted to such a naturally peaceful area.//

//As a designer, I have been designing architectural and electrical monuments to restore the lost tranquility that we have now lost in our big cities. I want to prove that even in the biggest, loudest places there can still be a time to let all your stresses flow away. I want people to feel relaxed and life to seem much more calm than it is. Studies have shown, with less stress, people are healthier, happier and work better. This fountain will make theire lives much more merrier.//

//The fountian’s design is symmetrical so that it creates a perfect zen for those who need to find some inner tranquility. The fountain's design is also created to play soft nature sounds or meditation music. This way, yoga and meditation clases can be held at the fountain’s zen house. The zen house is approximately the size of a small basketball court. Exercise classes such as pilates can also take place in the zen house.//

//The lessons held at the fountain can be a great asset because they can help the town economically. There are many seniors in the area and the cool tranquil fountain will be much appreciated as well as meditation, relaxation, yoga, etc. lessons will also come with the fountain.//

//Although this fountain was created for relaxation, it can also be turned into a fun-filled water park. For example, the power of the jets can be changed to a full-blasting level and this will instantly change the fountain to a water park. I suggest that the town can create a schedule for the residents to follow. Therefore, different residents may come at different times to enjoy the fountain's abilities.//

//The design of the fountain looks more complicated than it really is. For instance, there are certain jets that can go in different directions. This will cut the town's spending money on the fountain. Although this fountain looks very un-envrionmentally friendly, however, there are solar panels attached on the sides of the fountain that can harness energy efficiently. Nevertheless, some electricity still has to come from an outside source.//

//I added the waterfall picture in the background to represent the other zen fountains I have designed in many exotic places. For example, Italy, England, Ireland, China, India, Australia and Thailand. This fountain is a combination of fountains that I have designed in the past. The waterfall is meant to bring peacefulness to the mind.//

//I hope you consider my design for your residential fountain.//
