Catherine Woo has created a facade for the newly developed Ritz-Carlton hotel in Perth. Her work titled Cascade was designed to evoke shimmering water, referencing the nearby Swan River and the falling water of the famous Kimberley Gorges of Western Australia.
Woo's original work was scanned into a 3D model and developed at monumental scale using virtual reality technology. Cast in recycled aluminium, the rippling surface comes to life under the changing light of day and creates a powerful physical presence through scale and reflection.
Built by UAP in collaboration with the artist and the construction team at ProBuild.
