What a View!

Using SZ-4, Steven Dona Architecture chose to provide their client with a First Class solution to the common problem of giving a sense of protection from a railing while not blocking the view.  Glass railing might have been the obvious solution, but in the Architect's point of view, glass panels lack mass when viewed at a distance, losing the overall design detail.  Massive stainless steel railing was custom built around the Copper / Stainless mixed mesh providing security and detail even when viewed from the shoreline.  

Another benefit of using mesh versus glass for infill panels - one that can be appreciated by both homeowner and birds - is that mesh can be seen by flying birds while glass can be invisible, causing collisions.
