In a town where architectural fountains are becoming common, the water feature at 1100 Louisiana stands out in both grandeur and composition. This sizeable feature, set in the midst of downtown Houston, began as a project to update the existing plaza and resulted in not only a beautiful landscape but a rejuvenated community atmosphere as well.

With an emphasis on embedding nature into the concrete business district, this water feature serves as a serene garden refuge for the neighborhood lunch crowd. Locals cool off under shade trees while water cascades towards them down arches of stadium-style steps. The main attraction lies on a circular platform containing several jets, shooting water as high as twenty feet into the air. When the sun goes down, the white and lavender light combined with the flowing water enchants both adults and children alike.
