AQUA MODA ALLIA   /   ONE-OFF NATURAL SLATE

Allia Slate Hololith Water Feature 102cm No. 160

A substantial one-off natural slate hololith combining smoky grey stone, warm copper tones and a dramatic hand-cut central window.

The photographs show the exact No. 160 stone you will receive. Its silhouette, natural markings, colouring and central opening belong to this individual piece of slate.

Measuring approximately 102cm high × 56cm wide × 20cm deep, No. 160 has enough scale to become a genuine landscape focal point while retaining an elegant, sculptural proportion.

Water rises through the pre-drilled stone before travelling over its naturally textured surface. As the slate becomes wet, the grey colouring deepens considerably and its warmer copper tones, veins and natural markings become much more pronounced.

The stone you see is the stone you receive.

Every Allia is naturally unique. No. 160 is sold as the exact slate hololith shown in the product photography, allowing you to choose its actual form, colour, markings and central opening before you order.

WHY NO. 160?

A sculptural piece of slate with an architectural window through its centre.

No. 160 combines substantial natural stone with an unusually open form, allowing planting, light and the surrounding landscape to remain visible through the feature.

01   ONE-OF-A-KIND STONE

The exact piece photographed

There is no unknown stone variation. The feature shown in the product photography is the actual No. 160 supplied.

02   CENTRAL WINDOW

A more open sculptural form

The large hand-cut aperture frames planting, architecture and views beyond rather than presenting one completely solid face.

03   GREY + COPPER SLATE

Colour that develops when wet

Smoky grey natural slate is lifted by warmer copper tones that become richer and more defined under moving water.

Visit our Manchester showroom by appointment or arrange a complimentary virtual consultation. We can show you the actual stone, discuss the central opening and help you assess its 102cm scale within your proposed location.

NATURAL SLATE CHARACTER

Raw stone, warm mineral tones and an individual sculptural form.

No. 160 has not been designed to look perfectly uniform. Its variation in shape, surface texture and colour is part of what gives a one-off Allia its character.

STONE

Genuine natural slate

Layering, surface markings and subtle irregularities remain visible rather than being disguised by a manufactured finish.

COLOUR

Smoky grey and copper

Cooler grey slate provides the base colour while warmer mineral tones introduce character and variation.

FORM

Large central opening

The hand-cut window gives the stone negative space and allows its surroundings to become part of the composition.

WATER TRANSFORMS NATURAL SLATE

Grey becomes darker. Copper becomes richer. Texture becomes clearer.

Water rises through the pre-drilled No. 160 stone before flowing across the natural slate surface and returning to the concealed reservoir below. As the stone becomes wet, its colouring changes dramatically: smoky greys deepen, warmer copper tones become stronger and subtle veins and natural markings gain greater definition. The included LED adds illumination to the moving water after dark.

Water rises through the stone The pre-drilled natural slate forms the visible centrepiece of the recirculating system.
Natural surface flow Water follows the contours and texture of the individual slate face.
Deeper wet colouring Grey and copper tones become noticeably richer when the slate is wet.
LED illumination Integrated lighting adds another dimension to the water effect after dark.

THE CENTRAL WINDOW

Let the landscape become part of the feature.

More than a decorative cut-out

The central opening changes how No. 160 interacts with its surroundings. Position it to frame planting, a garden view or an architectural detail and the background becomes part of the stone's composition. As you move around the garden, the view through the opening changes with you.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCALE

Over one metre of substantial natural slate.

No. 160 is a genuine statement piece. At 102cm high and 56cm wide, it needs enough visual space to appreciate both the stone itself and the architectural central opening.
102cm Overall natural stone height / approximately 3ft 4.2in.
56cm Overall stone width.
20cm Natural stone depth.
90cm × 30cm Diameter × depth of supplied underground reservoir.

POSITIONING NO. 160

Think about what you want to see through the stone.

Because the central opening is such an important part of No. 160, positioning is about more than simply finding enough physical space. The background visible through the hololith can materially change the finished effect.

Frame planting

Position the aperture against ornamental grasses, clipped greenery or seasonal planting to create a changing natural backdrop.

Create a sight line

Use the opening to draw the eye towards another section of the garden, a specimen plant or an architectural feature.

Give it breathing room

Allow enough space around the 102cm stone for its silhouette, central window and moving water to be appreciated together.

PERMANENT IN-GROUND INSTALLATION

A substantial natural stone feature needs a properly prepared structural base.

The supplied underground reservoir should be installed on a firm, level concrete pad. Suitable brick supports are then positioned inside the reservoir beneath the stone and built up to the underside of the heavy-duty support grid. This allows the weight of the hololith to be transferred through the supports to the concrete foundation below, rather than relying solely on the grid or reservoir body.

INSTALLATION DETAIL

Build from the ground up.

Once complete, the structural components sit out of sight beneath the finished decorative surface, leaving the natural slate as the visible focal point.
01 Excavate Prepare a suitable opening for the 90cm reservoir, allowing additional depth for the concrete foundation beneath it.
02 Create the concrete base Form a firm, level concrete pad beneath the complete reservoir area and allow it to cure before continuing.
03 Position the reservoir Sit the 90cm reservoir level on the concrete foundation. Keep its upper edge slightly above surrounding soil level to help prevent soil and surface water entering the pool.
04 Add internal supports Position suitable brick supports inside the reservoir directly beneath the intended stone position and build them up to the underside of the support grid.
05 Install pump & pipework Position the pump inside the reservoir where it remains accessible and connect the water hose and LED to the pre-drilled stone.
06 Fit the heavy-duty grid Position the support grid securely across the reservoir so it bears correctly onto the brick supports beneath.
07 Position No. 160 Carefully lift and position the hololith above the supported section of grid. Suitable lifting equipment and sufficient assistance may be required.
08 Finish the surface Conceal the visible grid with your chosen decorative pebbles while maintaining access to the pump for future servicing.
09 Fill & enjoy Fill the reservoir and start the pump. Water rises through the stone, travels across the natural slate and returns to the hidden reservoir below.

COMPLETE WATER FEATURE KIT

No. 160 is supplied with its complete water system.

The slate arrives pre-drilled and is supplied with the main reservoir, support, circulation and lighting components required to create the finished installation.

SLATE TRANSFORMED BY WATER

No. 160 shows two very different characters.

When dry

The slate displays softer smoky grey colouring with warmer copper markings and natural veins visible through its rugged surface.

When wet

The grey slate becomes substantially darker and richer while copper tones, veins and smaller natural details become more pronounced beneath the moving water.

BUYING A ONE-OFF ALLIA

Choose the actual stone that will become part of your garden.
