BROKEN PLAN LIVING

A phrase coined by Mary Duggan, a judge of the Riba House of the Year award, broken plan living presents a new interior design concept Open plan living with the option of creating distinctive zones that offer quiet and privacy, Smart and flexible interconnected spaces with an option to open up or close rooms on demand.

Broken plan is the best of both worlds. A practical alternative and midway point between open plan living and traditional separate rooms. The creative use of structural materials to create screens and partitions opens up new possibilities for living and working in our homes

The use of glass in a broken-plan design

It is well-publicised that natural light positively affects our well-being, and the feeling of light and space is one of the key benefits of open-plan living. Glass partitions are the perfect choice for zoning areas. Many styles are available, including hinged, sliding and folding, and systems are available frameless, semi-obscure or with a crittall style design

The structural strength, transparency and versatility of glass, therefore, means that you can easily realise an extra bedroom, separate dining and living areas or create a home office.

Gabi Riseley from Henry Rose Interiors shares her tips for new-season Trends

The big trend to look out for is "broken plan living", which enhances the open-plan layout through the introduction of different zones. This can be achieved with split levels, varied flooring and clever lighting, and keeps an appealing feeling of flow " Adding Crittall doors to an already opened-up space still gives the illusion and feel of open plan, but allows you to separate the rooms, " suggests Gabi. " Another easy way to zone the rooms is by adding open shelving or tall glass units accessed from both sides, the added benefit of extra storage

A SHORT HISTORY OF ETCHED GLASS

by Tracy Saunders, MD at Go Glass

We come from a long line of artists and engineers having traced our family tree back to Sculptor Edward Hodges Baily (1788-1867) whose works include Lord Horatio Nelson in Trafalgar square and Eve at the Fountain at the V & A Museum. Our Great Grandfathers engineering and building business in Cambridge ran from 1926 – 2011. We believe this mix of inherited skills has led us to create the company we have today and has given us a passion for decorative glass

Glass sandblasting today involves automated machinery to "blast" abrasive or sand particles at the surface of the glass This gives the glass a cloudy appearance and allows a range of effects to be produced such as shading to give a 3D look and feel to the glass

The process of glass etching was first developed in Sweden in 1771 and quickly gained popularity throughout Europe

Acid etching or french embossing involved masking areas of the glass either with wax, animal fats or sometimes glue (a process called glue-chipping, which is still used today) and then covering the panel with a mixture of diluted hydrofluoric acid with potassium fluoride Offering both privacy and letting in natural light meant it was used extensively in Victorian public houses, and many original panels are in existence today Bars and hotels in this period adopted the trend as it gave sitting areas a luxurious and expensive feel.

The glass excise tax or window tax of 1745 saw a decline in the use of glass in buildings other than large grand or country houses - large windows would inform the world that the owner was a man or woman of means

The act was repealed in 1851 and this year also saw Joseph Paxton use glass extensively as a building material for Crystal Palace as part of the Great Exhibition

In the late 1860s, with a booming housing market emerging, developers started using etched glass in front doors and side panels Its popularity and the need for a semi-industrial means of mass producing, what was at this time a handcrafted art, led to the introduction of glass sandblasting

As Design Director of Go Glass for over 35 years, Clive has exhibited at events such as Glasstec in Dusseldorf, Grand Designs Live, Hampton Court and Chelsea Flower Shows and has won manufacturing and innovation awards in the UK.

Shown here with one of his charity glass sculptures, Clive has designed glass for The Shard, Westminster Abbey, Bafta and Stanstead Airport, to name but a few.

He leads a talented team of glass designers to produce a range of glass products with designs inspired by modern art, geometrics, the human form, history and nature.

Clive has a passion for glass design and architectural systems built up during his time at Go Glass. If you need a specialist glass consultant for any project, please call Clive on 01223 211041
