Elevated water feature displays waterfalls. Electrical and mechanical supplies are hidden in 3 feet diameter columns of fountains.
Opposing design entailed reuse of forms for substantial cost saving to the owner.
Elevated fountain by use of shoring and structural columns gives waterfall effect without the cost of supporting walls. This particular design
gives a larger fountain image at a cost of a smaller fountain value.
End view shows cast-in-place stair waterfall at a 45-degree angle.
