Overview

Meticulously crafted by the artisans at DION, our installation offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the iconic Big Ben. Constructed from premium stainless steel and finished with automotive paint that mirrors the original hues of the historic tower, this avant-garde piece captures the essence of its timeless beauty. A protective multi-layer varnish ensures the installation’s enduring splendor.

At its core, a graceful spiral staircase winds upward, inviting visitors to ascend and experience a breathtaking panoramic view from the top. Each of the tower’s four sides is graced with a clock, serving both as a functional timepiece and a symbolic gesture to those passing by. Standing at an impressive height of 13 meters, this installation transcends mere tribute, embodying the spirit of discovery and the ongoing conversation between the past and the future.

Goals

The Big Ben installation stands as the focal point of a sprawling fountain complex, masterfully designed by our company for the New England residential area in Kyiv. Envisioned by the architect, this grand installation on the main square of the residential complex serves as a cultural bridge, echoing the rich heritage of England in the heart of Kyiv.

Additional Information

Our company created the conceptual idea of the project, developed the design and full project documentation. We manufactured the installation, performed all construction and installation work at the customer's site. The entire complex of works was completed within 7 months.
