Water feature outside the Connaught Hotel by Japanese architect Tadao Ando in Mount Street, Mayfair, London:
Clouds of mist erupt from the base of two trees in this London water feature designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
The trees sit in a raised granite-edged pool in front of the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair.
Atomisers hidden at the base of the trees create clouds of water vapour for fifteen seconds every fifteen minutes.
Glass lenses below the surface of the water contain fibre optics that illuminate the basin by night.
The feature, which forms part of a wider project to upgrade the surrounding streets, was delivered in collaboration with UK architects Blair Associates.
