Designing with Decorative Glass

Below are images of a new inpatient beds and emergency department that incorporates interior glazing in multiple ways. Never compromising on function for the sake of aesthetic but in fact marrying the two to create a soothing, timeless, light-filled and sophisticated interior environment.

  • Glass at Patient Areas
    • Switchable Smart Glass
      • with the flick of a switch the vision glass in the ICU doors and observation stations changes from clear to translucent, allowing patients and staff to control privacy and eliminate need for blinds or cubicle curtains.
    • Frosted Glass
      • frosted glass slot window at the patient room toilet creates a light feature and allows natural light to filter through from the exterior windows in the toilet room and into the patient care area while obscuring detail.
  • Glass at Public Areas
    • Decorative Patterned Glass
      • used at in the family living room lounge areas to give a sense of screening but not block natural light.
    •  Fade Gradient Glass
      • used in the Emergency waiting room to obscure view to wheelchair storage and seating while allowing maximum lighting transmittance. More visibility is achieved as the gradient gets smaller extending up the glass panel for full view at eye level.

    Glass at Staff Areas

    • Decorative Patterned Glass
      • used at work station areas along the patient corridors, staff are able to see through the glass while giving a sense of a barrier without blocking view and natural light.
