THE experience of living in a world of glass is reflected in a new exhibition.
The Apartment, at the National Glass Centre, in Sunderland, showcases work in glass by a group of international architects and designers.
The centre has been transformed into a one-bedroom loft apartment for Architecture Week.
The designer, Nick Crosbie, has made a unique piece for the show.
He said: "We were approached by Northern Architecture and the National Glass Centre to work in glass for the first time.
"It was such an exciting opportunity to expand our existing practice, but using a whole new material.
"It is a traditional technique that has been around for thousands of years, but has the capacity still to be modern."
A selection of exhibits will be raffled in aid of the British Red Cross Society.
The Apartment has been sponsored by Barker and Stonehouse, and is funded by Northern Arts.
