Do you have a philosophy about sourcing
materials locally?
Look, there is. Can I also say, too, that it’s been a learning
curve working with glass. We need local people like
Viridian. We can’t work with an overseas supplier and
then fix the problem when it lands here. Also, glass is
one of those things I can’t protect enough throughout
the entire job.
The great quality of glass is the fact that you hardly
see it. It’s the one thing you want to be invisible.
Good specification and good handling means glass
can be enhancing and also invisible.
