The structure's wooden façade clads a self-supporting steel frame, which is balanced in place by large fabric containers filled with water. The wooden panels of the façade were donated by Comet, a manufacturer of eco-friendly skateboards. The lower part of the façade — 120 panels — is detachable, and can be used to form benches and communal tables during different kinds of events.
Water is also a fundamental element of the installation: under the structure, pools of water serve as cooling stations that can also be covered to provide additional staging space or a shaded area from the direct sunlight. Party Wall carries a stream of water along to the top, projecting it via a pressure-tank into a fountain that feeds a misting station and a series of pools. The polyester base fabric water-filled "pillows" that keep the structure in place will be lit at night for a striking effect.
