i'm actually hoping to try to find some projects that aren't really the typical use of the laminated glass that all seem to end up looking like a shopping mall or vegas.

oma's embassy in berlin has a nice coloured glass floor

The American Antiquarian Institute has a glass floor along with an amazing collection of American Prose. But then again it is conventional....but it was a radical idea when it was built. The building is a fire proof vault....least the said it was when they built...way back when!

It was used for a while by vulture capitalists to store their rental junk for rubes. I'd rather someone live there.
Has anyone seen a really nice glass floor in any sort of projects?
thanks!
This Ehrlich house has a suspended glass floor walkway. You can see it in the fourth image.
