Luxury Ansley Park Glass House Design by BLDGS Architects
BLDGS Architects design this Ansley Glass House in an historic downtown neighborhood surrounded with a tree canopy and direct views to city skyline. The house is capped with an occupiable roof deck surrounded by glass guardrails and clerestories provide diagonal sightlines up to the midtown skyscrapers beyond and into the living spaces below.
The interior spaces are arranged as a series of split-levels, each spiraling around a new central stair. The stair is suspended from adjacent and overhead structure, and uppermost rooms are cantilevered and suspended over lower ones. The use of glass curtain-walls as a cladding material establishes a permeable boundary between the house and its immediate context, provides for light and views, and materially engages the glass skyscrapers visible on the immediate horizon. This combination—offset and cantilevered interior spaces viewable through a transparent exterior cladding—proposes a residential experience which is both spatially and visually suspended within the very close context.
