AQUA MODA ALLIA   /   ONE-OFF NATURAL STONE

Dark Grey Monolith Water Feature 96cm No. 159

A tall, dark grey natural monolith with angular facets, pronounced vertical lines and a distinctly architectural presence.

The photographs show the exact No. 159 stone you will receive. Its angular silhouette, natural stratification, colouring and proportions belong to this individual piece of stone.

Measuring approximately 96cm high × 33cm wide × 13cm deep, No. 159 combines almost a metre of height with a particularly shallow profile, giving it the appearance of a dramatic natural stone blade or slab.

Pre-drilled at its peak, water rises through the monolith before flowing across its geometric natural faces. Once wet, the already deep grey surface becomes darker and more saturated, while the layered stratification gains greater definition.

The monolith shown is the exact monolith you receive.

Every Allia natural stone is different. No. 159 is individually photographed so you can choose its exact angular form, dark grey colouring, natural layering and proportions before ordering.

WHY NO. 159?

One of the more architectural forms within the Allia collection.

No. 159 combines considerable height with a shallow 13cm depth, giving it a strong slab-like form that feels particularly at home within contemporary landscapes.

01   ANGULAR FORM

Natural geometric facets

Strong edges and changing planes create a more architectural appearance than a softly rounded or heavily weathered monolith.

02   96CM HIGH

Commanding vertical presence

Almost a metre of natural stone gives No. 159 enough height to stand confidently above lower planting.

03   DARK GREY

Dramatic when wet

The naturally dark stone becomes deeper and richer under water, emphasising its stratification and angular surfaces.

SEE YOUR STONE BEFORE YOU BUY

Want a closer look at Allia No. 159?

Visit our Manchester showroom by appointment or arrange a complimentary virtual consultation. We can show you the exact stone from different angles and help you assess its 96cm height, shallow profile and best orientation.

NATURAL CHARACTER

Sharp natural geometry rather than manufactured symmetry.

No. 159 has clean, powerful lines, but closer inspection reveals the uneven surfaces, layered structure and subtle irregularities of genuine natural stone.

FORM

Angular facets

Multiple natural planes catch light differently and create changing views as you move around the stone.

GEOLOGY

Visible stratification

Natural layering gives depth to the otherwise restrained dark grey colouring and becomes clearer when wet.

PROPORTION

Tall but exceptionally shallow

At 96cm high and only 13cm deep, the monolith has a distinctive natural slab-like profile.

WATER ACROSS ANGULAR STONE

Every facet changes the direction of the cascade.

Water rises internally through the pre-drilled stone and emerges at its peak. Rather than travelling down one perfectly flat face, the flow encounters the natural facets, edges and stratified surfaces of No. 159. This breaks the water into changing paths while simultaneously darkening the grey stone and revealing more of its underlying geological detail.

Peak water outlet Water emerges from the pre-drilled highest point of the monolith.
Angular cascade Natural facets continuously redirect the flow across the stone.
Darker when wet Deep grey colouring becomes considerably richer and more saturated.
Enhanced stratification Natural layering and surface detail become more prominent beneath the water.

ARCHITECTURAL PROPORTIONS

96cm high, yet only 13cm deep.

A natural stone blade with two very different viewing profiles.

From its broader 33cm face, No. 159 appears like a tall architectural slab. Turn towards the 13cm edge and the same stone becomes dramatically slimmer. This makes orientation an important part of the finished installation. A three-quarter position can be particularly effective because it reveals both the height and the unusually shallow natural profile.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCALE

Almost one metre of dark natural stone.

No. 159 has enough height to create a commanding vertical feature, but its restrained width and shallow depth prevent it from feeling unnecessarily bulky.
96cm Overall stone height / approximately 3ft 1.8in.
33cm Approximate stone width.
13cm Approximate stone depth.

POSITIONING NO. 159

Particularly suited to clean, architectural garden schemes.

Its combination of dark colour, vertical height and angular geometry makes No. 159 a natural partner for contemporary planting, gravel and modern hard landscaping.

Architectural planting

Use the dark stone against grasses or fresh green planting to create strong contrast in both form and colour.

End-of-view focal point

At 96cm high, No. 159 has sufficient presence to terminate a garden sight line or draw the eye from a terrace.

Contemporary courtyards

Its shallow 13cm depth and relatively restrained footprint can make it easier to integrate where space is more controlled.

PERMANENT IN-GROUND INSTALLATION

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

The underground reservoir should be installed on a firm, level concrete foundation. Suitable brick supports can then be positioned within the reservoir directly beneath the stone and built up to the underside of the galvanised steel grid. This allows the monolith's load to transfer through the supports towards the concrete base below rather than relying solely on the grid or reservoir.

INSTALLATION DETAIL

Build the support beneath the stone, then hide it.

Once installation is complete, the structural base, reservoir, brick supports, pump and grid disappear beneath the decorative finish, leaving only the dark grey monolith visible.
01 Choose the orientation Decide whether the broad face, slim edge or a three-quarter view should be directed towards the principal viewing area.
02 Excavate Prepare a suitable opening for the 90cm reservoir, allowing additional depth for the structural foundation below.
03 Create the concrete base Form a firm, level concrete pad beneath the reservoir and allow it to cure before continuing.
04 Position the reservoir Install the 90cm diameter reservoir securely and level on the prepared foundation.
05 Add internal supports Position suitable brick supports inside the reservoir beneath the intended stone position and build them to the underside of the support grid.
06 Install pump & pipework Position the supplied pump within the reservoir and connect the required pipework to the pre-drilled stone.
07 Fit the galvanised grid Position the supplied steel grid securely so it is correctly supported by the reservoir and brick supports below.
08 Position No. 159 Carefully position the monolith over the supported area and confirm its final orientation before finishing.
09 Finish & fill Conceal the grid with decorative pebbles, retain pump access, fill the reservoir and start the recirculating water system.

COMPLETE WATER FEATURE KIT

No. 159 is supplied with its main water-system components.

The natural stone arrives pre-drilled and is supplied with the underground reservoir, galvanised steel support grid, water pump and required pipework.

DARK STONE TRANSFORMED BY WATER

Water exaggerates both the colour and the natural geometry.

When dry

No. 159 displays dark grey colouring with visible layering, angular edges and subtle changes across its natural facets.

When wet

The stone becomes considerably darker and more saturated, increasing contrast between its planes and highlighting the natural stratification.

BUYING A ONE-OFF ALLIA

Choose the individual stone, not merely the product style.
