Architects and interior designers are no strangers to conflicting goals: privacy vs openness, branding vs aesthetics, or light control vs comfort. The good news? Custom window films and wall graphics make it possible to design with both purpose and impact.
Let’s take a look at how Formul8’s tailored solutions are solving complex design challenges across education, finance, and healthcare.
Caulfield Grammar – Privacy Without Compromise
In a large, light-filled space, privacy was needed — but not at the cost of warmth or visibility. The solution A two-point white fade film (to 1800mm) paired with silhouette graphics that reflect student life.
This approach:
- Softens sightlines without blocking light
- Creates identity-driven visual interest
- Seamlessly integrates into the school’s architecture
- A perfect example of privacy meeting purpose.
The result is a functional yet visually engaging space that supports both practical and decorative objectives, making it an effective example of privacy management in educational environments.
Bendigo Bank – A Brand-First Design Approach
At the Rye branch, Bendigo Bank wanted privacy, cohesion, and visual appeal — all while staying on-brand. We delivered a purple blur fade film with soft floral overlays in pastel tones. A subtle dot matrix effect added functional privacy without feeling harsh.
The result?
- A warm, contemporary space that feels consistent across branches
- Strategic visual layering that enhances both function and design
The dot matrix effect was a particularly innovative addition and allowed for a gradual transition between transparency and opacity.
St Vincent’s Hospital – Art, Calm and Control
Healthcare interiors call for more than just privacy — they need to calm and comfort.
We installed a layered printed window film and wall graphic system featuring external Australian artwork. The layout offered:
- Decorative relief that feels open, not enclosed
- Enhanced patient comfort through thoughtful design
- Functional privacy without heavy-handed barriers
- It’s proof that functional film can be both artistic and empathetic.
While the artwork was provided externally, the strategic layering and placement of privacy films ensured a harmonious balance between aesthetics and function.
