When Transparency Makes Things Look Beautiful

There's an unusual charm in glass architecture. It holds an elegance that adds to the architectural façade of your home or office, and magnifies the beauty of its interiors. When I was setting up my new house, it had to have that edge. On my hunt for glass design architects in Sydney.




With a beach-side house and an opening to the bright sand & water, the interiors had to be warm, welcoming and smart. The open kitchen was a major highlight of the drawing room. And what could really work to add to its look was the kitchen splashback. There are some of the most interesting colour combinations for the splasbacks, and it has really worked wonders for its overall look.

Another major portion was the pool area, which ran up to the beach. Glass pool fencing was critical as the pool-side had to be separated from the beach by retaining the feel of a 'common pool & beach area'. With excellent glass fencing, the beach seems to be the next best thing... only after my pool!

Showers in the bathrooms were next on the list. I wanted to maintain a very simple, yet sophisticated look in the bathrooms With excellent glass and simple fittings, they made the bathrooms look exquisite.

With a one-storey bungalow, balcony balustrades become a major highlight. Being Sydney's well-known frameless glass specialist, offered me some of the best options to choose from. The balustrades really added to the overall look of the interiors and exterior of my house.

Well, it's not always when glass catches your attention. And again, it's not always when transparency tags along admiration.
