Swap out interior glass block window?

9 years ago

We are doing some mini updates on our Florida townhome. The main floor powder room is very small - think toilet and corner sink. About as small as you can get. No windows, as it's in the center of the floor plan. The previous owners installed a small glass block "window" around 2'x3', to let in some light from the condo into the bathroom. It's old school 80s glass block, a little frosted so as to provide privacy. Our condo style is otherwise "warm Florida modern" (I made that term up - but trying to convey that it's definitely a very modern condo, but not too cold). Any ideas with something we could swap the bricks out with? Or just drywall over?

I think glass block in a newer more modern application works wonderfully in a warm modern Floridian ;) here is an application I love!

What about just replacing with regular frosted or reeded window glass?

Why would blocking sunlight with drywall be a good idea?

We are thinking about putting a high rectangular window made of glass block in our proposed 66" shower. It might look something like the photo below. Any guesses on the size of the window in the photo? Any suggestions for changing the size of this window, or its height off of the floor? In the photo, it looks like the top of the window is a few inches below the height of the shower head. Thanks!

why hasn't someone come up with a new glass block that doesn't look so dated yet? I wanted to do a wall of it on my bathroom but there's no way to make it look contemporary. :/
