British Columbia has spectacular views of the Canadian Cascades and the inlets that surround it and Burnaby, a city just east of Vancouver.

Unique Edge-to-Edge Glass Design

They accomplished this with a NanaWall system, which separates their dining and kitchen areas from the backyard. “We wanted the ability to open the interior to the outdoors and to create a large entertaining area,” Jason Feduke explains. “The NanaWall SL82 gave us this, as well as unobstructed, panoramic views of Vancouver.” This effect is enhanced because the layered glass overlaps the slim aluminum profile, achieving a nearly edge-to-edge glass opening. From the outside, it stylistically appears to look just like the glass on a high-end skyscraper.

All Weather Performance and Ease of Operation

Outside this innovative house is a million-dollar view. Consequently, the Fedukes didn’t want to compromise the integrity of their design or pick an operable wall that was not sufficiently weather resistant. “We went with a NanaWall system because we understood it to be the best of its kind on the market,” Feduke comments. “The wall is extremely easy to operate and performs very well in this climate. Overall, we are highly impressed by the NanaWall system, as it helped us achieve all our design goals.”

The NanaWall SL82 is also easy to operate because of its carefully engineered rollers with sealed ball bearing carriers and height adjustments. The Fedukes are secure because of its multi-point locking that operates with the turn of a handle.

“When the Wall is Closed, the SL82 Has No Frames and All the Glass Panels are Extremely Attractive—It Looks Like Seamless Glass From the Exterior.”

From its onset, Burnaby has been associated with exploration. In 1859 Robert Burnaby surveyed the freshwater lake in the center of this town, and the city was named after him. While the Faduke family eats dinner, their eyes explore the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge, the Cascade Mountains or the Vancouver skyline. Whether opened or closed, the NanaWall allows for this exhilarating experience.

“When the wall is closed, the SL82 has no frames and all the glass panels are extremely attractive—it looks like seamless glass from the exterior, ” Feduke explains.

Other elements in the house attest to its contemporary design. Both interior and exterior utilize concrete and wood. Ironically, the exterior concrete is polished and smooth, while its interior application is rough and unfinished. Similarly, the wood underneath the cantilevered eaves is stained, but the wood floor in the dining space is left unfinished.  

Clean Lined Aesthetic

Glass in other places unifies the indoor and outdoor spaces. For example, the glass fireplace was integrated into the load-bearing wall that separates the dining and living room spaces. Panels of glass are also used to separate and protect the patio seating area.   

The SL82 comes in many style options, and the Fedukes fused their design with its stainless-steel look. The appliances—stove and barbecue, for instance—match this finish.

Because the house faces west, the NanaWalls and the transoms above them provide needed daylight. British Columbia stays fairly temperate all year, so opening the walls provides natural ventilation. 

Nevertheless, it is the daily vistas—the harmony of human invention and natural splendor—that make this room so transcendent. The Burnaby NanaWall house is just a small footnote in this evolving human story, but a pleasure for its owners.

Pacific Northwest Residence

Energy efficiency and performance was an important consideration for this Vancouver BC residence. HSW60 system provides the ability to store the system completely out of sight when open but also provides outdoor access through a single-acting swing panel.

We love the flexible space our NanaWall gives us. It has allowed our small TV room to morph into a spacious indoor-outdoor venue for hosting larger gatherings than we would have been able to accommodate before it was installed.
