Level One
Boulder, Colorado · 2023A house in Boulder, Colorado, glazed against the cold.

Glazed envelope · Interior and exterior partitions · Triple glazing
What it asked of the envelope.
The house opens to long views across Boulder while its glazed envelope holds against the Colorado cold. The glass is both the view and the environmental boundary.
How it was resolved.
Apexfine minimal sliding openings and a Ponzio WS50 curtain wall frame the house and its views across Boulder. EFS carried the aluminium-and-glass work through the interior as well, executing internal and external partitions alongside the glazed envelope.
In numbers.
Triple glazing delivers an R-10 effective performance.
