The front wall is comprised of a series of folded and interlocking 21m tall structural glass planes which primarily free span between ground and roof.

The side walls of the Theatre are clad in a project specific composition grade of stainless steel with a high molybdenum content, combined with a specifically chosen wet polished surface finish, for increased durability and surface protection.

The stainless steel panels are folded, seam welded and polished and the completed assembly incorporates integrated downpipes and gutters.
