Glimpses of Our Process: Backlit Glass Floor Development

GPI Design - Tuesday, October 25, 2011

We're working on illuminating a commercial lobby floor for a project in Perth, Australia.  To firm up our strategies, the specified glass panels were shipped to us so we could study their relationship to our backlighting. Creating even illumination for this highly translucent glass surface in a load bearing floor application presented a fun challenge for our team. Photographer and videographer Andrew Thames spent a few days with us capturing the process.

Take a look at how we arrived at the final design - you'll see hot spots and any distracting evidence of the light source slowly disappear.
