The vision for this Fall Church, VA, deck was to seamlessly connect to the home’s plant conservatory for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Echoing the homeowner’s passion for plants, DuBro Architects and Builders designed a light-filled functional space where plants could thrive and day-to-day living was made easy. Key to the design was integrating an aluminum clad folding glass door to blur the threshold between the deck and conservatory, allowing for one continuous indoor-outdoor living space without the fuzz.

Seamless Transition Through Thoughtful Design with an Aluminum Clad Folding Glass Door
Featuring the elegant warmth of wood on the inside and the durability of aluminum on the outside, the Generation 4 aluminum clad folding glass door creates an expansive 21-foot-wide opening. The deck and conservatory become one with a barefoot-friendly threshold that makes transitions a breeze, especially when hosting special gatherings. Featuring the slimmest aluminum clad frames in the market, the panels offer serene views of the tree canopy even when closed.
A Design Elevated by Light and Openness
During winter, the energy-efficient doors protect the plants from harsh weather and transform the conservatory into an indoor-outdoor living room, while keeping the cold out. “The transformation was dramatic with natural light flooding the space, improved airflow, and the overall aesthetic going from standard to stunning,” says the architect. “It’s the kind of feature that elevates the entire project and leaves a lasting impression on clients.”
“As designers and builders, the NanaWall aluminum clad folding glass door system has been a game-changer. It allowed us to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living in a way that traditional walls simply can’t,” — BuBro Architects and Builders.

What Our Customers Have to Say

The Charles Sparks team chose a NanaWall system for this Starbucks because the product allowed the firm to modify the appearance of the wall. They needed to parallel the train station and café aesthetics.

“The premise of our design was to open up the perimeter walls to increase the flow of traffic. The investment my clients made in using NanaWall increased their revenue. The restaurant is known as ‘the restaurant where the glass walls disappear’.”
