A 22 feet tall spiral water feature was recently installed at the new Children's Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska.  The spiral form complements the surrounding space in a whimsical manner, mimicking other sculptural forms in the space.  Water Studio worked with HDR and Kiewit Building Group to design and install this innovative water feature.

The design and fabrication process involved extensive engineering and testing that included 3D modelling and complex metal forming.  Some details include curved horizontal “ribbons” that reinforce and complement the spiral shape and pure white LED strip lighting to illuminate the twisting Water Veil.  The granite pavers which surround the water feature were also sandblasted to match the graphical pattern in the terrazzo flooring. The hospital is still under construction and is expected to open its doors this fall.

Located near the outdoor lounge area of a new Bel Air residence, designed by Landry Design Group, our latest fire and water sculpture consists of five curved copper structures in various heights and widths that surround a large flame located in the center of a shallow reflecting pool clad in granite. The outer surfaces of the curved structures are ridged to create cascading waves of water. Underwater lights and dancing fire on water illuminate the sculpture at night.

Water Studio built and installed an architecturally integrated Water Veil for the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel at L.A. LIVE in Downtown Los Angeles. This highly anticipated Ritz-Carlton was designed by Barry Design Associates and opened as the first luxury hotel of its caliber in Downtown Los Angeles as the final piece of L.A. LIVE, the $2.5 billion sports, residential, and entertainment district just steps away from STAPLES Center.

The newly constructed Methodist Women’s Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska is now home to Water Studio’s tallest curved Water Veil.  Designed in collaboration with HDR and installed by Meyers Carlisle Leapley and Davis Erection Company, this water feature shines as the new hospital’s focal point in the lobby.

 The unique arrangement of the water feature’s three elements creates a diverse form which appears to change with vantages throughout the lobby. Two free-standing, curved Water Veils, 12 ft. and 26 ft. tall, are clad in polished and brushed stainless steel to match other finishes in the space. Water flows over the surfaces of a 5 ft. natural basalt stone column which intersects the tall Water Veil. Underwater lights accentuate the cascading water textures on the Water Veils and the basalt column.  Black granite pavers and a terrazzo surround conceal the stainless steel basin.

The 11 ft. tall by 15 ft. wide curved water feature at Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa immediately greets guests entering the main lobby.  The water feature artfully pierces and provides the playful illusion of water falling from the ceiling.  The custom white glass tile frames the Water Veil and wraps around the basin. This quiet and mesmerizing water feature has become one of the top attractions at the resort.

 The Fire/Water Feature, approximately 5 ft. by 8 ft. is located in the outdoor bar and restaurant patio with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and Dana Point Harbor. A single row of flame emits from a narrow gap between two infinity edge reflecting pools made out of copper with bronze patina. The juxtaposition of fire and water in such close proximity provides an amazing display at night.

One of the tallest Water Veils ever built, the stainless steel Water Veil at Studio 837 Condominium in Studio City, CA is over 35 ft. tall.  The water feature can be seen from both sides and is located in the main atrium space.

Two large copper water walls are nearly complete at the Promenade in Long Beach, CA.  The water walls, designed in collaboration wtih Jon Cicchetti Landscape Architects, mimic the ocean topography of Long Beach Harbor. Water falls down all sides of the copper structure and disappears into a stainless steel basin covered with red granite pavers. 

Water Studio worked with Calls Shortridge Architects and William Kent Development to design and build an architecturally integrated glss water wall covering an entire exterior wall of a pool cabana for a high-end residence in Beverly Hills, California. The glass support channels, water trough, and catch basin were completely concealed from view. A remote pump system recirculates and cleans the water in the feature.
