The structural frame utilizes a pentagonal geodesic assembly constructed from reclaimed white oak to ensure maximum tension capacity and natural aesthetic integration. Each joint is reinforced with custom-milled brass plates designed to handle the variable stresses of wind loads and high-humidity environments.

The primary sound and collection surfaces consist of high-tension stainless steel wire filaments strung in varying lengths to create a multi-octave acoustic scale. These wires are anchored into adjustable tension-bolt systems that allow for tuning the resonance frequency of the entire structure based on the ambient wind speed.

Integrated silicone-gasket channels are laser-cut into the underside of the mounting beams to capture the condensation as it rolls down the vibrating wires. The system is gravity-fed through micro-tubing that leads to a central, filtered ceramic cistern housed within the primary structural column.

The floor of the chamber features a floating platform made of scorched Shou Sugi Ban cedar, providing a stable foundation that resists moisture rot and fungal growth. The interior is finished with natural beeswax to maintain a VOC-free, acoustic-reflective environment that amplifies the subtle sounds of the exterior wire-harp.
