Iridescent Apartment Balconies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Fulton A5 A1 Features Balcony Railings With Shifting Colors

— June 21, 2017 — Art & Design
Iridescent glass is undeniably dazzling, and Fulton A5 A1, a new condo concept set to be built in Paris' 13th arrondissement, is making use of the spectacular material. Though color-shifting glass is more commonly found in exotic cars or futuristic art installations, Fulton A5 A1 will have the glass installed on the railings of all its balconies, helping it to stand apartment from the more traditional architecture that surrounds it.

Part of the appeal of the iridescent glass on Fulton A5 A1 is that it makes the condo buildings look completely different depending on one's perspective when viewing them. Across the Seine, they might look bright yellow, while from the angle of another apartment balcony in the complex, they could be deep blue. Indeed, as one circles the buildings, the railings can shift to any color on the spectrum.
Trend Themes
1. Iridescent Architecture - Using iridescent materials in the design of buildings to create visually stunning and constantly-changing structures.
2. Dynamic Glass Applications - Implementing color-shifting glass in various settings, such as building facades, transportation, and interior decor.
3. Novelty in Housing Design - Incorporating unique and eye-catching elements in residential properties to appeal to modern aesthetics and stand out in the market.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate Development - Opportunity to differentiate properties by using new and unconventional materials and design elements.
2. Glass Manufacturing - Developing and producing specialty glass products that can be used in architecture and design applications.
3. Architectural and Interior Design - Incorporating iridescent glass and other innovative materials in creating unique and personalized spaces for clients.
