We spent some time working with the architecture team, the client and an on-project artist to produce these glass sliding screens for a residential development in Central Milton Keynes. The first block is now built, installed and all apartments sold and being lived in. The idea with the sliding screens is to enliven the building facade with a themed pattern across every building face. The first block has the pattern of a tree across each elevation, with the colour burnt onto the glass. The pattern gives depth to the balcony with sunlight casting shadows into the apartments. We hope that when residents have had a chance to customise their balconies with growing plants, window boxes and are actively using the outdoor space, that the building exterior will become enlivened with activity.
