The Koichi Takada Architects outline the feature waterfall is a key element in the buildings design, "water is key in representing the initial concept of the QLD rainforest's, and more specifically the green veil and waterfall. As the waterfall reaches the podium, the concept of the water spreads, with a misting affect created for the green walls, and ground level planting. Not only does the misting form part of the maintenance of the plants, but also provides a visual clue to the water features in the design. The misting will carry down to the public domain creating a cooling effect to pedestrians and visitors to the retail".
