Kosta glashus

The Kosta glashus features extensive glass walls and heated floors, demonstrating modern architectural principles through its transparent structure and environmental design.

Architect Bruno Mathsson completed this building in 1956, introducing triple-glazed window units called Brunopane that transformed residential glass construction in Sweden.

The building serves as a central location for glass art exhibitions, workshops, and demonstrations, continuing the region's glass-making traditions since the 18th century.

Visitors can observe glass-blowing demonstrations, explore art exhibitions, and dine at the restaurant while watching artisans work with molten glass.

The structure consists of five L-shaped units arranged around sun courts, with a shared central boiler system providing efficient heating throughout the building.
