What about dust in these gridded holes ?
if i wear a skirt…
The Gridded floor/ceiling looks great and is an excellent centre piece, it merges the rooms in a very subtle manner. You could say a new take on open plan living. Only issues are the practicalities of walking on it, it looks as if it would be painful without shoes and I imagine toes and fingers getting stuck. Which makes me think of it as quite a dubious part of the house for children. Though once again the translucence merge is beautiful and more than makes up for this.
