It is easy to think of floor-to-ceiling glazing as a modern architectural design trend — and there is no denying that in the past decade or so homeowners have very much taken advantage of the abundance of products now out there, from oversized sliding systems and bifold doors that span the entire breadth of buildings, to fixed glazed apertures designed to replace solid walls and provide that indoor-outdoor feel we have all been told we should embrace.
However, floor-to-ceiling glazing really is nothing new — you only have to look back at masterpieces such as Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and The Glass House by Philip Johnson to see that this is most certainly not a recent trend to emerge.
