apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


NanaWall

The lines between indoor and outdoor can be melted away by NanaWall. They call their window/door/wall systems opening glass walls. And they're awesome, giving the indoors an outdoor quality.

 
 

The photo up top is of an apartment on Broadway being fitted with a NanaWall system. This particular system has sound-proofing, too. So when the system is closed, the view is still wide open but sound is shut out.

The photos below show what we think is a pretty neat accessory. It's a raising screen panel. So, you have three options of openness: completely shut, open with screen, and completely open without screen. We love this ability to manipulate the indoor's relationship to the out at your fingertips.

That's fantastic! Especially for spring here in NY when opening the indoors to the outdoors saves on a/c and lets everything meld together.

Domestic cats unionize and demand that all apartments be equipped with these.

Stunning...but at $600 - $1200 per foot...not realistic for most peeps. Guess it's sliding glass for me!

We use this product all the time at my firm. It is really great, and has a lot of options to keep the doors hidden when open - which is great for small spaces. They can fold onto itself as shown in the pic, but the panels can also be individually hinged and slide into a pocket. It is however pricey...

The problem I see with it is that because it folds out, you would not be able to keep any table, chairs, planters, etc on your balcony because the door would hit things when it angles out in the process of opening it.

That's true, it does take up space when used as shown. It does also come in an option to fold in, instead of out.
