This unique flooring solution may be the most delicate out there, incorporating a glass surface over mirror shards.
Although visually complex, the construction of these floors is rather simple. To create this look, mirror shards from broken mirrors were placed on the existing subfloor before a layer of glass was put on top to create a safe walking surface.The result is an awe-inspiring, slightly frightening walk as it looks like you might step right into the broken glass.
Don't worry, this unconventional interior is not in anyone's house but was created as part of a design and architecture event. The space is meant to be a "laboratory of ideas" that present new and innovative designs. These floors were an exploration of depth and reflection, and the creative new ways flooring can thought of.
