FEATURED PROJECT: CRYSTAL WALKWAY, GEWEN ISLAND, DOHA, QATAR
At the Crystal Walkway on Gewen Island, Qatar, a series of 180 walk-on glass floors filled with crystal were installed to create a visually dazzling pedestrian experience that literally sparkles underfoot.
Each panel was constructed from triple-laminated, toughened safety glass, ensuring full structural integrity while showcasing the brilliant Egyptian crystal within the flooring. In addition to the floors, the project featured large one-of-a-kind crystal clocks, combining functional timepieces with an artistic display that interacts with natural and ambient lighting.
This installation exemplifies the fusion of structural engineering, bespoke glass design, and decorative artistry, delivering a landmark experience that is both immersive and visually striking.
