Glass artist, Nancy Gong, has fashioned a one-of-a-kind privacy screen for a unique urban residence in Rochester, New York. The home is located in a relatively new cultural district and was once a recording studio in a commercial building. While new lofts and multiple unit living spaces have been growing in the city, new private residences have not been common. The LiDestri residence is one of the first single-family residences to be pop-up in this area and created some unique challenges that the properties of glass were able to solve.
