Wood panels alternate with glass elements, thus the needs for both transparency and solar protection are met.

It takes its name from the fine sand, which has glass elements in it and provides a sparkling effect during sunshine.

Deep inside the lens is a group of glass elements that effectively float in a magnetic field.
Stained glass decorative elements add color to selected windows.
Modern steel and glass elements now contrast to the almost 300 year-old walls.
It's relatively light, since the two mirrors replace a slew of glass elements.
