The star-shaped Waterfall with its vivid, warm colors attracts children again and again. The richness of tactile activities to be explored invites deep play and makes the child want to stay and play for a long time and revisit, again and again. The star shape makes possible social play as all children can see the other children playing, get inspired and keep contact with one another. The yellow basins can be emptied by pulling the black water stoppers. Children will do this again and again to watch the water running out under the basin. The red water tub with dispenser in the middle of the star opens when pressed and closes when not. This means that all users can open or close the water tap in some way. There is ample table and seating space, allowing for creative play with sand and water. With the proper surfacing solution, the piece can be used and accessed from all sides by all users.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
