Glass Floor
« Roman Touch | Light and Vertical »
An unusual tempered glass floor on the loft level allows light to filter through from the first floor. The glass is strong enough to hold 250 people—not that 250 people could fit in the small space! The untraditional glass flooring gives the loft a floating feel. The loft contains his bedroom, walk-in closet and office with two-story bookcase. Because so many design elements—windows, bookcase, walls—carry up from the first floor to the second, the eye is drawn upward, so even though the apartment has a small footprint, there's a strong sense of verticality that makes it feel grand.
