The original Luxfer Prism system, invented in 1882, was developed to improve interior lighting conditions. It works most effectively in settings where natural sunlight is scarce, such as basements or alley shops. The prism was also used as a feature facade of prominent buildings and, considering the open floor plan and transparency of the Hall of Democracy, a reinterpretation of the prism can give it new life in the subtropical environment of Brisbane. 

The RayView Panel system (Wall Louvers) and RayView SkyView (Skylights) are developed to embody the principles of the Hall of Democracy and respond to Brisbane’s rapidly changing landscape. The brief was embodied through crystalline SkyView Floor and Roof panels, giving reflections of and inspired by the form of a faceted diamond.

The RayView Panel system on the other hand are derived from the formation of an mangrove sapling, with it being both colourful and permeable. These panels follow the dynamics of the day, with early morning sun reaching the golden upper and eastern panels, followed by the green (botanic and mangrove canopy) and blue (sky) hues during the day and concluding with golden and red panels with the evening western sun.

The system also embodies the building's design and conceptual philosophy of trust. This comes in the form of transparency and breathability with the public, and reflection and respect in the form of aesthetic subtlety towards the Mansions. Individual systems communicate with each other via a central network and sensor array surrounding the building, allowing  operability of the panels. This along with high solar thermal efficiency allows the systems to respond best in class to its subtropical home context.
