Hi everyone. I am rendering a 1940's movie theatre for the town I live in for the 75th year anniversary of the theatre. The original design had structural peach colored glass panels on the exterior walls.
I have created several different ways to acheive this but I'm struggling to render them correctly showing enough reflection where they look like glass but not so much where they are mirrored.   All my renderings come out with them looking very flat. I'm still learning renderings techniques so it may be obvious, but I dont know it. 
The last attempt was to color the exterior wall peach, and the panels over it are set to a translucent material, colored peach.  I still dont like it...it needs to be more shiny and I just cant seem to get it right.  Any help would be appreciated. :)
Also....how do get rid of the bubbles that appear in my  window glass?

A photo of the actual building and perhaps a Test Plan ( <14mb) with the same Materials would help too ...so others can "play"

 

( I am assuming you can't post current full plan , hence the test Plan instead )

Here is the full plan. Cant supply an original photo in color, only black and white. The glass panels were removed decades ago.
