Bercy Chen uses gray-tinted architectural glass for increased energy efficiency, as it did for this living space. “A gray tint, as opposed to green or blue, reduces the penetration of both light and heat into a building while remaining tonally neutral and allowing the experience of colors through the glass to stay relatively true,” Chen says. Oldcastle Glass offers the product in several thicknesses and colors. Oldcastle Glass, 866.653.2278; www.oldcastleglass.com.
