Burlingame Town Square — Dichroic Glass Fountain

At Burlingame Town Square, decorative glass brings color and texture to the fountain installation. TCG Glass manufactured and supplied custom laminated panels combining cast glass with blue dichroic glass. The combination creates depth and changing reflections as light and viewing angles shift, adding another visual dimension to the water feature.

TCG manufactured and supplied the custom laminated panels for the fountain, bringing texture and changing color to the plaza’s central water feature.

The Story

Glass brings movement and changing color to the heart of Burlingame Town Square.


For this SWA-designed public space, TCG Glass manufactured custom laminated panels combining textured cast glass with blue dichroic glass. The cast surface adds visual depth, while the dichroic glass reveals different colors as sunlight and viewing angles change.


Installed as part of the square’s fountain, the angled panels bring glass, light, and flowing water together. The installation gives visitors a reason to pause, with a different perspective emerging as they move through the plaza.
