This fifty-eight-foot-long fountain wall consists of four offset stainless steel panels. Each panel is hand-finished with a non-directional swirl pattern. During the day this pattern refracts the sunlight. At night underwater lights installed at the fountain perimeter project the pattern of the water onto the stainless steel as waves of light.

The wall is located in an existing fountain in the Post Oak Central Office Complex in Houston.  It serves the dual purpose of providing a background for the Apache Corporation sign and an enclosure for the entry plaza. The location and height of the wall defines the entry to the building by visually screening the entry plaza from a parking lot across Post Oak Boulevard to the east. The wall also provides a contrasting visual reference for the oak tree in the center of the plaza. In response to the slope of the adjacent plaza the wall steps up as you approach the building thereby enhancing the sense of arrival to the Apache Corporation’s headquarters.
