It seems you can’t drive down any desirable street these days without encountering the new favorite architectural add-on: steel and glass windows. These structures, composed of glass panes stretching from floor to ceiling, separated by thin, steel frames and often incorporating a door, add a bit of industrial chic to an otherwise traditional home. Often used as an airy separation between the house and backyard, they blur the distinction between indoors and out, making them the perfect transition to a pool or garden area. We’ve rounded up a few beautiful examples to illustrate the point, and we think you’ll agree that it’s a gorgeous look we’re truly loving!

Designer Beth Webb of Atlanta says she uses them frequently in her projects. “They connect the indoors to the outside much more vividly than casement windows,” she says. Above, in an Atlanta kitchen inspired by Belgian design, Beth left the steel and glass windows overlooking the pool area unencumbered by window treatments. Instead, she hung a linen panel in the center of the kitchen to close off the cooking area from the dining table. The combination of the stone floor and the glass and steel windows creates a rich mixture of materials.
