The Moroccan water wall lends a cool tranquillity to the lobby.
The perpetual waterfall flows down a colorful mosaic of hand-crafted Moroccan "zellige"
or tiles. As it reaches the bottom, the water is sent gently across a flat tile slab
matching the vertical wall above before vanishing into invisible drainage slots in the
tile work.

waterfall.
A companion Moroccan tile-work
across the lobby offers another eye-catching example of the art of zellige mosaics. |
