5 Sculptural Fixtures That Marry Light and Form

5 days ago | azuremagazine.com | Sydney Shilling

Who says art has to be limited to just the walls?

Walking down 162nd Street in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighbourhood, a silver form rises above the residential fabric, its protruding yellow window frames dancing above the rooflines.

With that in mind, navigating the dynamic between indoors and outdoors becomes an important part of the design process. Is there a great tree (or, if you're lucky, a full forest of them) to the east? That seems like a great spot to go big on glazing - provided you pick a solution that's ready to control solar gain and prevent heat loss.
