Nine Window Wall Projects That Provide Ideal Indoor/Outdoor Living

This story was originally published in Builder.

Nothing beats natural light, and to maximize the amount of it in a home’s core living spaces, designers have developed ways to incorporate walls of floor-to-ceiling windows or doors. The feature not only adds light, but also gives homeowners the opportunity to open their homes to the outdoors. Check out the following applications of window walls below.

Every project was discovered and recognized in previous Builder’s Choice & Custom Home Design Award programs, from 2016 to 2018. The 2019 edition of the awards is now accepting submissions in categories including custom homes, renovations, modular, and production. Submit your application before May 3 to be considered.
