Viridian glass solution for Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney -
play of light

Glass and sunlight can be heavenly but, just as easily, the work of the Devil. The secret is in knowing when to be brave and when to be cautious. HASSELL and Bovis Lend Lease considered the potential to create the saint or sinner with their design and management of the $99 million Kolling Building for medical research and education at Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH) in Sydney. The project explores the environmental possibilities through the extensive use of Viridian performance glazing to create a play of light.
