When I started researching the buildings designed by Arthur Erickson, I was surprised to learn that a concrete building I always walk past after seeing my hairdresser was one of his designs.

This is the Waterfall Building, named after the water feature that frames the entrance. Completed in 2001, it was intended as a live-work complex and is on a far smaller scale than the other Erickson buildings I have written about in this series.
