Wouldn't it be cool if we had a water feature in Vancouver that was exactly that?

johnjimbc · #**3296** Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 10:16 PM**

Does anyone know when they will turn the waterfall at robson square back on?

sacrifice333 · #**3297** Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 10:44 PM**

building by granville island is literally called "The Waterfall Building", it, like the Law Courts, were designed by Arthur Erickson.

Here's a great pic on flickr of it: link.

SpongeG · #**3298** Posted **Feb 24, 2009, 11:05 PM**

yah i like walking by that place

officedweller · #**3299** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 10:06 PM**

Part of the Vita tower has been painted the same yellow/buff colour as the podium in the alley. I think there'll be a steel atrium element on the penthouse floor where the white tarp is located. BTW - note the expanse of brick on the podium wall near the alley (hard to see because of the reflection in the window - it's below the "tail" of the bottom Capitol crane)) - seems odd given it may be covered up in a few years when the neighbouring parcel is developed.

Pic by me today.
