Molly Mesnick's Dream Home Designed with Generation 4 Folding Glass Wall
The Vision
Mesnick wanted a home that offered a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors, allowing for effortless entertaining, maximizing natural light, and providing stunning views. The NanaWall Generation 4 system was identified early in the design process as a key element in achieving this vision.
“My NanaWall was my top wish list item for this house. I just LOVE the look of seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining and NanaWall makes that all possible! The Generation 4 system has a slimmer profile, offering more window view. The wall of windows floods our space with natural light but when it is open, it expands our living space to that covered patio.”
“I went with NanaWall because they are the original for bifold doors; they just have perfected it, and they do it better than anyone else.” — Molly Mesnick, Mesnick Homes

What Our Customers Have to Say
Lake Erie Residence
The four-season open-air porch was designed to maximize views of the lake, yet the tightly sealed operable glass walls keep the interior warm and draft-free in the winter. In the summer, NanaScreen protects against mosquitoes and moths.
Pacific Northwest Residence
Energy efficiency and performance was an important consideration for this Vancouver BC residence. HSW60 system provides the ability to store the system completely out of sight when open but also provides outdoor access through a single-acting swing panel.
“During Summer and Fall, we usually leave the doors open as we host friends and family while the kids run around from the backyard to inside the house,” says the homeowner. “It is pure joy. We would not have it any other way.”
