“The Freeman Family Fountain is the first of its kind in the 30 years. Consultant Rider Levett Bucknall has acted as project manager on the first drinking fountain for more than three decades. The Freeman Family Fountain was designed by sculptor David Harber and donated to London’s Hyde Park by property developer and Royal Parks Foundation trustee Michael Freeman. The fountain is a 1.2m diameter sphere made of mirror-polished, marine-grade stainless steel, studded with petals of oxidized verdigris bronze. Set on a granite plinth, it has four drinking stations and a spout to fill up water bottles.” (RLB project manages Hyde Park drinking fountain, Building.co.uk)
