the window walls of the north facade open up the interior to the exterior yard as much as shear calculations
would allow. fully pocketing glass doors were prohibitively expensive so we used a combination of sliding and
fixed panel glazing to work in tandem with the slatted wood screen that will sit in front: all of the panels operate
within the 3ft module established by the slat screen batons and sliders tuck behind fixed panels where the
screen shades for privacy.
all of the panels fit into a single assembly, without any intermittent framing.a big thank you goes to mark
martinez at metal window corp who worked with us to get the mull and recessed (flush) track details right. the
track fit perfectly into the groove framed out during the slab pour and once the finished concrete topping is added,
the transition between the interior rooms and exterior landing will be seamless.
