Transforming Exterior Spaces with Custom Perspex Architectural Features

 

First impressions matter, especially at a corporate office. When a mobile technology company in Midrand wanted to soften the harsh exterior lines of its building and create a more visually appealing outdoor area, a fully custom solution was the best fit – and a good example of how our acrylic architecture work can reshape an exterior space.[moriahplastics.co]

We designed and manufactured a series of large-format outdoor Perspex architectural features in the client’s corporate colour. Each unit measured approximately 3 metres by 3 metres and was produced as a completely bespoke build to suit the space, the visual brief, and the installation requirements. For readers exploring more permanent architectural elements, this project sits alongside our broader range of acrylic architectural features and planters manufactured in Johannesburg.

 

What made this project especially distinctive was the material itself. The Perspex was manufactured as a special colour batch run specifically for this project, allowing the finished installation to deliver a bold, clean appearance that aligned with the client’s brand environment without needing printed branding or logos. For companies already using our in‑store signage or LED display lighting, this approach shows how the same materials can be extended into exterior architectural features for a consistent look.

 

Because these features were installed outdoors, material quality and durability were critical. The use of high-quality solid Perspex made the structures suitable for sun exposure and weather conditions, while the reinforced construction ensured reliable performance once installed on site. This emphasis on structural integrity and weather resistance is the same thinking we apply to our food & beverage sneeze guards and hospitality display stands, where hygiene, safety and long-term strength are non-negotiable.

 

 

The entire project was fabricated in our Newlands, Johannesburg factory and installed by our team, giving the client a complete end-to-end solution. This approach helped maintain quality control throughout the process, from manufacturing through to final placement, and ensured that the finished result matched the original design intent. Clients who already work with us on retail display stands and plinths benefit from the same concept-to-install service: one partner handling design, fabrication and, where required, on-site installation.

 

In addition to their strong visual impact, these custom features are also practical to maintain. Routine care is simple, requiring only cleaning with a soft cloth to keep the surfaces looking polished and presentable. This low-maintenance requirement mirrors many of our acrylic architectural and garden features, which are designed to look premium while remaining easy to clean and service over time.

 

Projects like this show how custom acrylic and Perspex fabrication can do more than serve a functional purpose. When used creatively, these materials can become part of the architecture itself, helping businesses turn underused exterior areas into striking, brand-aligned spaces. If you’re considering something similar for your building or grounds, you can explore more ideas on our acrylic architecture page, then request a custom quote from our Johannesburg team or WhatsApp your RFQ to discuss your own Perspex architectural features.
