Custom Concrete Water Feature with Inlaid Compass Rose Design

A striking custom concrete installation in Bellevue features a circular water fountain anchored by a large, inlaid compass rose design in the surrounding plaza. The central fountain is constructed with smooth, dark-colored, cast-in-place concrete walls that form a tiered basin and double as a functional seat wall for the public space. This design creates a compelling textural contrast between the smooth vertical forms, the dark polished rock fill, and the shimmering stainless steel water element. The surrounding flatwork has a light broom finish for slip resistance, with precisely executed saw-cut control joints that integrate seamlessly into the directional points of the compass motif. Curved walkways extend from the central feature, guiding movement and unifying the entire landscape with clean, durable surfaces built for community enjoyment and longevity.
