Wellington's new children's hospital is spread across three floors, with 50 beds and 21 clinic rooms, situated at the northern end of the Wellington hospital campus, connected by a link bridge to the main hospital. Brightly coloured glass fins were installed in keeping with the key principle of the design which was that the environment was child-centred and family-friendly. Another unique design was that of the Keramo Glass panels (ceramic fritted glass), which were created with pictures and symbols that children could enjoy and interact with.
The Vanceva colors interlayer system enhances the style of laminated safety glass like never before—combining color and white interlayers to produce more than 69,000 transparent, translucent, or solid colored glass combinations - creating just the right look and ambience. In fact, no other PVB interlayer system offers the ability to achieve the range of colors and varied translucency in glass that Vanceva does.
