In 1940 landscape architect Ralph Ellifrit designed a park-like environment dominated by a shallow, rectilinear pool on axis at the entry to the Houston City Hall. The pool is animated by a cascade fountain on its western end and enveloped by a gently sloping lawn that is bordered by paved walkways. White Oak Studio was hired by the City to provide renovation design services to Hermann Square, which included upgrading and refurbishing the large reflection pool. They brought in GPSI to provide engineering design of MEP for the reflection pool and cascading feature and to play a role in construction oversite through the fountain renovation process.
