Honours project - water inspired interiors

After looking into the history of the Hospital Water Tower I have been looking into interiors inspired by water. I want to incorporate something like this into my design to reflect the history of the building. These little touches will be a lasting reminder of the buildings character and story.
 
 
The glass works below reflect the fluidity and movement of water. The glass shows reflection and it's ripples show depth.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The room below, in the Roca London Gallery, has a ceiling which has a fluid like look to it. It's architect Zaha Hadid often likes to incorporate geology into her work. This particular building's design is inspired by the various phases and states of water. Water acts as the transformational element moving across the facade, carving out the interior and moving through the main gallery as individual drops.

 I love these mirrors which resemble dripping water. They're really eye catching and interesting and would give a really dramatic look to a room.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This ceiling is fantastic! It's deep ridges, ripples and curves resemble waves and movement in the sea. These fabric sheets cleverly draw the eye to the beautiful sea views outside and sway with the help of the air conditioning!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And of course there are various water features that can be used inside or out. Or possibly from inside, heading out! The running water would be a constant feature of the building.


 
 
 
 
The water tower has a small amount of unused land at the side of it, after looking at glass works, i've looked into glass extensions. This would increase the amount of floor space on the ground floor and also create a different dimension to the building itself without distracting from its character and style. Here are some glass extensions that may be suitable.
 
 
 
 
I like these simple designs as they don't alter the building's style yet they create a lot more space.
