Geniuses of disguise: 12 buildings with mirrored facades

Are mirrored facades fashion or practicality?

Facade glazing is not a new phenomenon. Even giving glass a tint or a reflective effect has also been practiced for a long time. But, it should be understood that the use of various effects significantly increases the cost of the building. And if instead of ordinary glass, you use a one-way mirror that can withstand wind load and other factors? The price of such a facade is likely to skyrocket.

Well, practicality from such a facade will not be enough. The mirror can only shield from the sun's rays, prevent the house from heating up, but this advantage is good only in hot summer. In winter, such a facade will even be harmful. Some developers are trying, on the contrary, to use dark colors for walls and roofs in order to save a little on heating.

Most likely, the mirrored facade in a private house is just a tribute to fashion, an original decorative decoration. It will perfectly decorate a guest house, become a landmark of a recreation center, but it is not practical to use it in building a house. Especially in Russian realities.

Mirror house requires perfect cleanliness of the facade

The mirror reflects what it sees. Accordingly, if dust falls on such a facade, the picture will fade, and the appearance of the structure will deteriorate. There is only one way out - to wash and, preferably, several times a year. This is another additional cost item for the mirror house.

Masking effect

Such facades look gorgeous in natural conditions, when a forest stretches around, mountains are visible on the horizon or a lake is spread out. A mirrored wall is the most fun home design you can think of. Its appearance changes depending on the time of day or weather conditions. Just imagine: in the morning the house sparkles with a bright sun, and in the evening it takes on the color of a starry sky!
