Fencing & Decking

 Loft fever has not only spread throughout urban areas, but to singlefamily dwellings on the city outskirts as well. With new structure abilities such as open plan floors, the possibility of replacing exterior walls with large windows, and the lack of partitions and traditional rooms, the creation of visually connected spaces is easier than it has been in the past. The large dimensions of this type of dwelling enable one of the most characteristic features of the loft style to be enhanced: an open space in which air and light are the most precious elements.

 In these types of constructions, it is difficult to achieve a global union of the spaces. It is very possible, though, to use materials such as concrete, brick, steel, and wood in the large wall areas, windows, and
ceilings. However, the core material in the interior of the single-family dwelling is nearly always glass. Its transparency enables spaces to be divided without detracting from the visibility of the whole: it is used for
entire walls, it surrounds interior courtyards, it separates private areas, and it can even be tinted to bring a personal chromatic touch to the house. Glass also comes to the rescue when dealing with split-levels,
which are usually rather isolated. Glass sheeting, which allows one to peer over onto the loft's lower level, provides a satisfying sensation of unification.
