The continuous exterior and interior glass walls slide gently past each other to create a shifting relationship between museum and garden, filtering the view through layers of curved glass, each with its own reflection. The buffer zones between activities perform a special function by regulating the temperature and humidity requirements of each space in a sustainable way: the heat generated from the glass-making furnaces is recycled into the radiant heating and cooling panels embedded in the floor and ceiling of the public spaces. It succeeds in creating an environment that seems to be neither workshop nor gallery but an insight into the character and qualities of glass.
