Negative-Pressure Window Aquarium

Negative Pressure · Living Window

Using negative pressure to suspend a body of water between two panes of glass — the window turns into a living frame.

A negative-pressure chamber suspends the water body between two sheets of glass, turning the aquarium into part of the window.

Structure, sealing and circulation went through many iterations. The final piece ran stable for months and looked genuinely surreal.
