glass wall 01 | bring the indoors outside

I’ve been watching for an opportunity to do an exterior piece. This super cute 3rd floor deck in a Denver townhome with a teency glimpse of mountains is the perfect spot. The 3rd floor wraps around the deck with patio doors on 2 sides creating a courtyard feeling. Adding an art piece means year-round color and shimmer outdoors…and indoors.

I’ve always been obsessed with living walls. I’m guessing they are tricky to maintain in our northern climates. So how about a super graphic, playful version in glass using layered greens and lots of iridized glass to bring in a variety of hues.

Glass is so so happy outside. Natural light optimizes shimmer. This ‘glass wall’ is going to bring some no-maintenance year-round color and shimmer. Can’t wait to see it installed.
