Schwartz and Architecture

http://www.schwartzandarchitecture.com

The inspiration for the remodel of this San Francisco Victorian came from an unlikely source – the owner’s modern-day cabinet of curiosities, brimming with jars filled with preserved aquatic body parts and specimens. This room now becomes the heart of the home, with glimpses into the collection a constant presence from every space. A partially translucent glass wall (derived from the genetic code of a Harbor Seal) and shelving system protects the collection and divides the owner’s study from the adjacent family room.

Schwartz and Architecture It is regular tempered glass panels, which are likely less expensive than a manufactured product.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by John Hill to Translucent Surfaces: A Canvas for Light and Shadow

This interior wall, which acts as a guardrail for a stair, illustrates how clarity recedes the farther something is from the surface. The zigzag of the stair treads and risers is quite clear; the handrail less so; the person less distinct. What lies beyond is indistinguishable — just a haze of diagonal movement.
