The fountain is a part of a piazetta – a small square beside an experimental maisonette building by the architect J. Fabiánek. The small multi-level square of interconnected pedestrian terraces was designed by S. Talaš and his team, who were involved in planning of the entire housing estate.  

The fountain features an octagonal basin, its interior inlaid with square glass mosaics, and a series of cylinders of various heights and widths covered with bowls of shaped stainless steel sheet metal. The precision-crafted metal tanks multiply the effect of the splashing water, not only visually but also by generating acoustic effects reminiscent of musical instruments such as steelpans, or the famous Singing Fountain in Prague. In recent years, the fountain has not sounded very tuneful as the metal tanks have been bent and damaged by vandals. 

Juriga Square had recently become the subject of a competition for its renovation and revitalisation. The Bratislava Metropolitan Institute is now preparing implementation of the winning design, which includes changes to the appearance and operation of the fountain.
