I'm currently working on a million (loonies... but let's assume it's the same) 2nd home for our client's ex wife. 25' long sliding glass wall on 2nd floor overlooking the river required a 400mm deep steel beam due to the snow loads. That's an expensive opening considering there is a large covered patio literally 3' away.

couldn't post the image, took me longer than 3 seconds to look for them. Tons of steel in the corner, 9'x16' corner opening
This is from a custom home project I did a bunch of years ago, where we had an indoor pool and hot tub area the owner wanted to be able to open up completely to the outside in parts or in whole depending on the weather. So we put in two sets of sliding/folding doors which recess into pockets allow the three spaces (pool, spa, patio) to be recombined in multiple ways from in to out. And used the same paving tile inside and outside with very minimal stainless track for the doors inset flush. Not cheap, but it turned out really well.
Not my work below, but I've always felt like the Scandinavian countries & the Japanese do the best job of transitioning. I've always loved when they eliminate (or at the very least heavily minimize) the perimeter frame around glass boundaries by slipping the pane past the plane it intersects.
We have to worry about people walking into glass too much in most spaces for it to be widespread, but I still love it.
Beautiful. I might have mentioned before the word I think I coined, Japandinavian, to cover the similarities in their approaches. I, and most of my clients, are fans. We also like traditional New England vernacular architecture, thus New Enjapandinavian style. (Mostly a joke, though it might have potential...)
Show your work: transitions between indoors and outdoors
Porches, decks, windows, doors, courtyards--what's your favorite (or least favorite) connection between indoors and outdoors?
While I understand experientially the desire for a fully open corner door or window condition, I've never found the sacrifices worth it.
Yeah it's a challenge I haven't tackled yet, and hope to someday, just to do it. For what situations have you considered doing them?
Millionaire client's second or third vacation home. I wish that was snark.

What a detail, eh?
does it screech like a wounded elephant every time you raise it?

has a good ring to it, new enjapandinavian...
saw this video the other day, it's pretty amazing how they manage privacy and openings, and the level of paranoia is high.....you'll see.
soulless
Psychotic and disturbing spaces imo. I couldn't finish watching it.
I can't imagine being comfortable here.
Main entry is the garage. Disgusting.
nothing minimal about that price tag
For $10M they couldn't even put an edge on the cobblestone drive either.
Expected to see Hunter Biden in bed with one of his 'girlfriends' doing some drugs. Or maybe that was Hunter doing the presentation?
The politics thread is that way, conspiracy laden peabrain.
