cirque du solera

Where light and privacy are needed, Kearns specs Solera, a high-performance translucent glass glazing system suitable for vertical and overhead applications. He admires its “longevity and high insulation value.” An alternative to conventional plastic-based diffused glazing systems, Solera is shown here on the facade of one of the firm’s projects.
