Case Study - Falling Waters
The Challenge
A client who was designing a private eating club had recently returned from a trip to Africa. While there, he had spent time at one of the more majestic waterfalls on the continent. The club he was building was set on a waterfront and he approached
Glassworks to replicate the look and feel of the African waterfall.
The Solution
To create the indoor waterfall, we designed glass panels that covered the lion share of the interior wall space. We etched the panels with a dynamic waterfall image and fabricated large, kiln-formed glass panels to look like colorful native rocks. Mid-way through the process, we mocked up one of the waterfall panels in our studio, and worked with the water structure manufacturer to insure water would flow smoothly over the glass panels.
The Result
The result was a majestic, flowing waterfall that offered eighty lineal feet of etched glass panels and ten lineal feet of colorful, kiln-formed waterfall-like "stones" that mimicked the outdoor, African waterfall experience. Aside from being pleased with the design and function of the installation,
Glassworks was able to complete the project well within the needed timeframe, adding further value to the customer experience.
