Butterfly Takes Flight with NanaWall

The Butterfly House came to us through our developing relationship with San Francisco-based architectural firm, Feldman Architecture, the creators of this architectural wonder. Throughout the story of Butterfly, we wanted to show the homeowner how NanaWall opening glass walls transform the conventional view of a home, or rather from a home, into a dwelling that knows no boundaries, and quite literally, communes with nature.

Indoor/Outdoor Living with Opening Glass Walls

This home, located in Monterey County California, illustrates perfectly how homeowners are able to embrace the indoor/outdoor lifestyle by incorporating the use of NanaWall opening glass walls. As stated by homeowner David, “you can be here inside but also feel as if you are outside” whether the walls are opened or closed―the NanaWalls integrate the two spaces.

Together the homeowners and architect Feldman envisioned a home that was like “a butterfly landing in a meadow”. The homeowner wanted a home that sat lightly on the land and thrust out and into nature providing unobstructed views of the surrounding environment and wildlife.

"The NanaWalls really fit our idea of what should be in a house that's really about nature more than about the house" — Suzanne R. Homeowner

Ease of Operation and Energy Efficiency

Homeowner Suzanne presented a request, “My challenge to our architect was…..I have to be able to do this when I’m 85.”

Accepting this challenge while sourcing high-performance products for this building, the architect turned to NanaWall for excellent thermal properties. NanaWall Systems offers many options to get the needed U-values to design with this much glass without compromising with heat loss or heat gain depending on the season. Through the use of the floor supported NanaWall SL70, the design was able to be realized by allowing the maximum amount of glass. And through NanaWall floor supported technology, Suzanne declares, “They are very easy to use”.

“We understand the NanaWall system to be the best of its kind on the market. The wall is extremely easy to operate and performs very well in the Vancouver climate. Also, when the wall is closed, the system has no frames—it looks like seamless glass from the exterior.”
