Wall St
The new $34 million dollar Mall complex, Wall St, seen on George Street, Dunedin was recently unveiled, comprising 48 panels of 12mm printed glass, some up to 3.8m wide
Print supervisor Owen Booth comments, "The job called for a low
opacity print, basically a less dense ink layer, as the designers
wanted the image to stand out on the exterior, without restricting
light transmission to the interior offices." The finished results
allow natural light into the complex, and the glass facade to
be backlit by night.
The heritage-printed glass facade has added a modern twist to
the mall refurbishment, while also referencing the building's
past.
"It's fantastic to be able to offer customers an innovation that
no-one else in New Zealand can," says Booth.
