NanaWall
Artisan Home Builders, along with Architect Darren M. Kelly, designed and built this ADU in California. The architect’s intent was to create a space that would use the mature landscaping on the property to promote the client’s wellness through biophilic design principles. The project’s design began with the need to integrate the interior spaces with the verdant exterior spaces on site, with NanaWall. The NanaWall folding door system is a high-performance window wall that also physically dematerializes the building’s exterior envelope when opened, bringing the sensory experience of the garden to the client’s everyday living. The rest of the glazing throughout the building — both interior and exterior — was designed to completely integrate the NanaWall system into the design.
