Waterfall

Those of you keeping track of the ongoing construction at The Roosevelt should be noticing the frenzy of activity taking place as we near completion. What you can’t see is that the interior of the building is a 9 story tall 30 foot wide mural of a cascading waterfall surrounded by a tropical green landscape. The mural covers the northern wall of the building's light well, where four walls meet to create a courtyard under an open roof. A rock wall will be built at the base of the mural, where water will fall into a pond, giving the impression that it is coming from the mural itself. Grass will be added to the courtyard to further complement the mural and complete its effect - all the work is coming into place.
