Waterworx was a part of the design and construction team that created the stylized gardens and water features now surrounding DTE Energy’s headquarters in downtown Detroit. Still pools of water, virtually a small lake, float and shimmer across a plaza the size of an entire city block. The illusion of driving through water is a perception intentionally generated by the close proximity of the pool and having the pool surface about 8 inches above the roadway. The lake also has a hidden function as a vehicle barrier for the building.
