The Syrian Fountain adds to the refreshing atmosphere of the Central
Atrium. A traditional feature of the hoash or central courtyard in classic Arab
house design, the gentle water sounds lend a cool tranquillity. It's concentric star
design repeats in the inlaid marble of the Atrium floor.
Here, too, we see the marriage of modern technology with
traditional artisan crafts. Returns are carefully hidden in the design of the fountain. |
