Type: Residential / Glass Blowing Studio
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
The Beaux Vase home and studio is inspired by the shape of a bow and covered in greenery to bring back flowers, a way of showing love through gifting, to the neighborhood.
It has curved walls to accentuate the softness of glass when heated. When you walk in to the glass blowing studio, you are greeted by the ribbon staircase and a strong scent of flowers. The ribbon staircase is where they keep the vases made in the studio in the back of the first floor. It is more spacious and open so more people can watch demonstrations and even work together.
It has ribbon-like extrusions covered in plants creating spaces for displaying vases, and people to rest. These ribbon like extrusions also extend to the facade to add more greenery to the large windows.
