This feature is an expression of water in horizontal and vertical planes. A collaborative effort with the offices of Keven Roche John Dinkeloo, the project progresses from interior to exterior. Two planes of water are juxtaposed horizontally at the entrance to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The first plane overflows a vertical edge to become a wall of water that sheaths black granite, and is interwoven into a grand elliptical staircase in the interior. The second plane of water evolves into a curtain of rain on the exterior. Each of these vertical planes of water alternately meets its horizontal companion, completing the form.
