Great Rooms
Mediterranean Living Room, Austin
This Great Room debuts as one of the only known applications of stacked glass in a residence in the U.S. Instead of using steel as the structural support for the large glass wall in the Great Room, stacked glass is used, similar to a skyscraper in a downtown metroplex. Since glass has a higher tensile strength than concrete, it is certainly capable of carrying the load and withstanding the wind shears off the lake. Moreover, it frames the amazing view of the lake like no other. The automated cabinet over the fireplace opens to reveal the TV when a button on the phone is pushed.
