We were so excited to work on our first stateside Poesia Glass brick project! Notable for being artisanal and handmade, fully customizable to the project, and ultra shiny crystal clear, these glass bricks are most definitely not in the same category as the mottled cubes fitted into basement window openings citywide. In fact… these are the kinds of bricks you want front and center.
Project lead Matt Wilke of LG Construction opted to place them in an alley-facing window, giving the dining room space inside ample natural light while also obscuring inhabitants from the scrutiny of passerby. Check out Poesia’s website or Instagram for more examples of the many diverse applications, custom colors/shapes/textures, and novel uses of this extraordinary product.
