For this Campbell, CA, homeowner, the goal was to blur the boundaries between inside and out. The goal was to expand the living areas into the outdoor patio, making the home feel larger, more welcoming, and better suited for both relaxing and entertaining. Bringing the homeowner’s vision to life, Brad Cox Architect specified two aluminum framed folding glass walls to connect the primary living spaces to the outdoors.

Expansive Glass Wall Transforms Home into Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Retreat
Expanding Space with Light and Openness with Folding Glass Walls
The installation of NanaWall folding glass walls reimagined the home’s main living area as a continuous flow between the kitchen, dining, and outdoor patio. When fully open, the doors erase the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, creating a single, interconnected space for day-to-day living. Even when closed, the floor-to-ceiling glass panels flood the home with natural light, establishing a bright, uplifting atmosphere that enhances comfort and connection to nature.
A Seamless Connection to the Outdoor Environment
According to the homeowner, “With the folding glass walls, our outdoor space became a true extension of our home. When open, the doors completely remove the barrier between the interior and the outside, allowing the two areas to merge into one continuous, functional space.” The result is a living space that feels larger, more inviting, and perfectly adapted to the rhythms of family life and social gatherings alike.
“One of the most compelling reasons we chose NanaWall was how their doors create a truly open living space between indoors and outdoors. Choosing NanaWall also meant choosing high-quality craftsmanship and design flexibility. Their systems are built to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining energy efficiency, security, and ease of use,” — Homeowner.

In Napa CA, NanaWall’s SL45 system was the design solution for the desired open corners of this installation. The concept was to wrap a prominent corner of the house in opening glass walls to commune with nature whether the glass wall is closed or complet
Tequesta Residence
The indoor /outdoor environment was exactly what the client and architects envisioned for the living area and guest bedrooms and the top-hung, hurricane approved systems allowed for a continuous flooring material both inside and out.
“The multi-use space that we designed to adjoin two classrooms needed great visibility and flexibility, with good acoustic separation. The NanaWall not only does this, it’s easy to operate and beautiful.”
