Unique glass design provides "exceptional visibility"

 
25 June 2008

A distinctive glass design has been used to provide a car showroom with "exceptional visibility", it has been reported.

Online resource What's New In Building explains that the design is a one-off in the region.

"The design of the glass fronted building is unique in this area as it gives an angle of vision right through the building, enabling viewers to clearly see each of the vehicle franchises," it notes.

Ansell Lighting's lighting design manager Paul Davidson tells the website that a special lighting scheme was put in place to maximise the benefits of the natural light that streams through the glazed area at the front of the structure.

Concluding, the site notes that the facility has a very prominent position and provides "exceptional visibility" to help promote the vehicle brands being promoted.

Meanwhile, sector commentator Phill Willward recently noted that glass can help to bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary design.
