Architecture open to light, space, and the surrounding landscape. The family house in Říčany near Prague was designed by the DBDA studio, with large-format glazing being one of its primary architectural elements.

Scope and Glazing Formats

For this house, we manufactured and installed 165 m² of frameless glazing using the OBSIDIAN NF3 STANDARD SAFE system. The largest glass pane measures 6 × 3 m and weighs approximately 1,500 kg. For formats of this size, anchoring, glass seating, transport, and on-site handling must be planned in advance to ensure the installation is carried out safely and accurately.

Frameless Roof Skylight

The project also includes a large-format frameless skylight installed in the roof. It brings daylight into the center of the house, where facade windows would not reach, keeping the layout bright throughout the day.

The Result

The frames are concealed, leaving the visible surface as pure glass. The living space, kitchen, and bedrooms connect to the garden without distracting profiles, seamlessly linking the interior with the exterior. The house is a great showcase of what frameless windows can achieve in large formats: minimal structure and maximum light.
