The system replaces traditional corner posts with a 9-inch horizontal glass opening, creating a panoramic effect that supports up to three floors of building load, or 26 kips. Its performance metrics exceed Miami-Dade hurricane standards, showing minimal frame deflection and zero air or water infiltration. Founder Tony Madureira developed the technology after seeking a way to clear his own home’s view without complex engineering.

TonyView Debuts Structural Corner Windows That Replace Solid Supports
San Diego-based TonyView has unveiled a patented structural corner window system that allows architects to swap solid building corners for glass. By utilizing a stainless steel sub-frame, the assembly maintains full structural integrity while integrating directly into conventional residential framing, eliminating the need for expensive cantilevered beams.
Unlike previous corner glazing solutions that demand custom structural modifications, this assembly functions as a standardized component compatible with existing construction practices. It has secured patents across North America, the EU, the UK, and parts of East Asia, positioning it as a scalable option for both new builds and retrofits. The hardware is designed to be installed as easily as standard framing components, allowing for a seamless transition toward the transparent, indoor-outdoor aesthetic currently favored in modern residential design.
