Digital Water Curtain Redwood Square. Sunnyvale. California

The grove of existing heritage redwood trees becomes the centerpiece of this 1.5-acre public park, designed to breathe new life into downtown Sunnyvale. Spaces for children to play, a lawn, events and performances radiate from the grove while cafes, restaurants, and bars line the edges of the park to animate it with civic life. In the plaza, a digital water curtain animates the park during both the night and day with continuous patterns and graphics. The water curtain is a dynamic, sustainable, and water-wise icon for the center of Silicon Valley.

Placed at the outdoor plaza, inside an elegantly designed catch basin profiled by corten steel, there is an awesome digital water curtain Gateway, an iconic architecture element to bring freshness and relaxation into this mix-used environment. The digital waterfall weaves elaborated water patterns dynamically changing in flowing sequences, creating in this way an innovative 21^st century water architecture feature with state-of-the-art technology. 

The digital water curtain is a cost effective alternative to introduce water into an urban landscape, since it is very sustainable because it needs little water and energy to work. Water is always recycling, being at all times filtrated and chemically treated to so it is always flowing clean and safe. 

This 40’ long Digital Water Curtain drops the water graphics and patterns from a 12’ height, raining down to entertain, amaze and refresh the residents all year round, enjoying the nice weather in California.

The interactive waterfall is lighted from the top with RGBW LED lights, illuminating the falling water displays in bright colors at night, creating a richly woven tapestry of water and light in many colors, which transforms the water curtain into a lighted water show for the enjoyment of the residents and visitors.
