Davis Court

At Davis Court in downtown San Francisco, Sherwood Design Engineers and the design team worked closely throughout the design process and selection of artist. Ned Kahn’s ‘Cloud Portal’ is a kinetic stainless steel sculpture that harmonizes with the surrounding urban and natural environment and captivates passersby with a cloud of mist that moves with the air currents. The sculpture sits within a still reflecting pool outlined by a stainless steel weir and inlaid with salvaged historic cobbles from the sites. Open joints between cobbles allow water to circulate and slip over the stainless steel edge without disturbing the surface of the water feature.
