Miami Beach Condo Project


Architectural Glass Panels for Pocket Doors Video

Bob shows the double pocket doors that separate the living and private spaces of the Miami condo. The wall between the living room and bedroom has been torn down, along with the closed closet spaces, recesses, and bathroom of the dated apartment. The new space is more loft-like, and the pocket doors will let the rooms function as one big space unless privacy is desired. The doors' glass panels are tempered art glass from Bendheim with a leaf pattern that allows light to enter the space, but obscures the view into the bedroom for privacy. The goal of the remodel and the new open floor plan was to bring light from the windows into the interior of the apartment. Bob looks at a number of glass options that were considered for the pocket doors, including a new version of etched glass, and laminated glass with Japanese rice paper embedded between the layers.
