At first glance, the glass displays a dot pattern, reading as a standard bird-safe design. But we worked with Studio Gang to create a custom pattern featuring silhouettes of native animals in a grid design, unique to the local environment. The custom design was etched onto surface one of the insulated glass units. The design has proven to be highly effective—bird strikes are essentially zero, fulfilling the glass’s purpose in this application.
