Clarence Street, Sydney, glass block wall

Modernizing an older streetscape is a challenge. Complementing surrounding brownstone buildings, architect Woods Bagot designed a magnificent hand cast Venetian glass brick wall to add luster to the street-level façade of this Sydney high-rise dating to 1972. Light filters through to the foyer in daylight, whilst after dark the feature positively glows, thanks to ERCO’s Lightgap grazing the bricks from top and bottom.
