Two walls of glass meeting at nothing

A corner opening sounds simple until you think about what’s missing: the post. Where two walls meet, there’s usually a column or a brick pier holding everything up. Here, the glass panels slide away from the corner in both directions and the structural support disappears. You’re left with an open right angle and a clean sightline straight through to the garden on two sides. No mullion. No interruption. The view wraps around you.

The dual-colour question

This project used a different frame colour on the outside than on the inside. From the garden, the frames sit against the exterior material in one tone. From the dining room, they read differently against the internal finishes. The outside of your house and the inside of your house are different environments. The frames can reflect that, and when they do, the whole thing feels more considered.

Reflective glass, and why they chose it

The glazing was specified with a reflective finish. From outside during the day, the glass mirrors the garden and the sky. From inside, you see straight through. It gives the house privacy without curtains or blinds, which keeps the clean lines and concealed hardware intact. Nothing visual competes with the view.

What the corner does to the room

With both runs slid open, the dining room stops having a corner. The table sits in what feels like an outdoor space with a roof. With both runs closed, you still get that wrapped, panoramic feeling because glass meets glass where the wall used to be. Light comes in from two directions. The room feels twice as connected to the garden as a single straight run would give you. People photograph it before they’ve finished arranging the furniture.
