# Printed Architectural Glass for a Managing Director’s Office

A confidential corporate client asked Sun Studio to turn the glazing in a managing director’s office into the feature of the room.

Five panels, each three metres tall and a metre wide, printed with a geometric pattern in layered colour.

## Project snapshot

- **Client:** A confidential corporate client
- **Location:** Dubai
- **Material:** Architectural glass
- **Printing service:** Glass printing
- **Application:** Office glazing as a room feature
- **Quantity:** Five panels
- **Panel size:** 3 metres tall by 1 metre wide
- **Production:** Direct UV printing in layered colour

## The brief

Glass is lit from both sides and never the same way twice. By day these panels are backlit by full sun; at night they are lit from inside the room. A print that looks right in one condition can go flat or muddy in the other.

## Our approach

The pattern was built in layered colour rather than a single pass, which is what lets the same panel hold up under transmitted light during the day and reflected light at night.

The panels were printed flat, at full height, so the pattern runs across the glazing without a join.

## Production detail

Architectural glass in the UAE has to hold its colour against years of direct sunlight. How long any printed glass holds depends on the glass, the primer, the cure and where the panel sits, which is why the specification is decided per panel rather than per material.

## The result

A room that changes character between morning and evening, with a print that holds its colour through both.
