11. Eskenazi Health- Healing Waters, Indianapolis Indiana
Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis, Indiana, is one of the leading providers of healthcare in the city and recently built a new LEED accredited campus that would now accommodate more patients in prime care. The new building is organized around an integral, community-oriented public area incorporating two large-format water features. On the eastern side of the plaza is ‘Healing Waters’ – a unique reworking topographical contour. In contrast, ‘Falls’ on the western side, is a 100 foot long rustic composition of boulders creating a tumbling cascade of water over rough quarry rock, trees and water plantings.
12. Sundance Square, Fort Worth Texas
The Sundance Square of downtown Fort Worth is activated by three water features designed by FDC. A small commemorative fountain is somewhat concealed at the plaza’s tiny northwest entrance. This feature is made up of spouts and an overflowing bowl, embellished in stone-carved bulls’ heads and metal fittings. The eastern plaza is animated by a slender wave cascade, simultaneously providing the adjacent eatery with a pleasant view. The interactive water feature on the west involves haphazardly scattered vertical jets that explore variations of density and space.
13. Longwood Gardens Restoration, Kennett Square PA
FDC, operating with a multi-disciplinary specialist team, restored the historic architecture and landscape features at Longwood Gardens. Additionally, FDC has also designed technologically advanced water feature displays that retrofit seamlessly within the historic fountain garden. This one of a kind revitalization project of the gardens took five years to complete and focused on the restoration of the original design including that of 4,000 pieces of limestone as well as the introduction of new architectural elements enhancing the access and circulation of its visitors, elevating the overall experience.
14. The Esplanade at Fair Park, Dallas
Another restoration project done by FDC jointy with Quimby McCoy Preservation Architecture was that of the outstanding 700-foot long reflection pool and Art Deco elements at Dallas’ Fair Park. The project also involved the conceptualization and creation of new components for a kinetic water show. These components blend undetectable into the historic components when not on display.
15. Casino Morongo, Cabazon
The feature designed by FDC for the interiors of the casino lounge act as cylindrical coloured glass bead curtains that make intimate spatial groupings. Water intermittently laces the steps where the casino and resort engages with the port on the exterior.
