We recently published a post about glass bricks and glass blocks and how they're enjoying a new wave of popularity, including in exterior finishes.

Here's another impressive example of them used on a facade.

It's a restaurant called Artisans Ayutthaya in Bangkok.

It's a very unusual combination of wood and glass blocks. And the whole project actually started from unsold leftover blocks that had been written off as unsellable.

In place of "mortar," a steel frame holds the blocks together, and it's clad in wood on the outside.

This creates an interesting effect, with the color of the wood reflected in the glass gaps.

The technique itself is original and, it seems, still has no equivalent.
