window wall
Floor-to-ceiling glass
A window wall is an exterior building wall composed largely or entirely of glass panels, typically spanning from floor to ceiling.
Unlike curtain walls, window walls sit within the floor slab rather than hanging in front of it.
The term emphasizes transparency and the blurring of indoor-outdoor boundaries: The architect specified a window wall facing the garden.
