NanaWall


A NanaWall is a custom-made, operable glass-wall panel system that blurs the line between indoors and outdoors. Easy to manage, the panels stack or stow away, opening the room to the outside. A NanaWall truly adapts to the seasons while also improving a home’s energy efficiency. During warm summer days it provides a great way to access fresh air, thereby cooling the home and allowing for beautiful views. In the winter it can be closed, creating a weather-resistant barrier that protects against rain, wind, snow, and cold temperatures. Architects and design professionals rely on NanaWall’s experience, vast array of options, and superior engineering to fulfill their distinctive designs. Homeowners appreciate the beautiful aesthetics, unsurpassed durability, and exceptional performance of a NanaWall.

Richard MacDonald


Sculptor Richard MacDonald’s works, which are collected and exhibited worldwide, are contemporary in context and infused with a timeless quality. For every piece he creates, MacDonald draws his inspiration from humanity’s broad emotional complexities. He captures the beauty, romance, and essence of the human spirit in motion as he sculpts from live models, breathing and moving alongside them in an unrehearsed dance—his clay taking shape as their forms continue to shift . . . muscles flex, fingers reach, heads turn. In the leap and grace of the dancer, the power of the athlete, the gesture and passion of lovers, the spirit rises, and he captures it. Influenced by the expressiveness in the figures of Renaissance master Donatello, the emotional intensity of works by 19th-century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the power of Michelangelo’s sculpture, MacDonald’s inspirational, sensitive works are precisely of the moment, yet profoundly historic by reference.
