Milanese architect Santambrio has built a concept glass house in Milan, Italy. The house is cube-shaped and is completely made of blue-tinged glass. The house sits in the middle of a wooded clearing, a location private enough.
Almost every feature or piece of furniture of the glass house is made from glass. From the dining room table, to the stairs, to the bookcase, to the bathtub - everything inside the cube-shaped concept home is constructed from glass. Even the sofa and the bed have glass frames designed specifically for the glass home. The glass itself is between 6 and 7 millimeters thick. But the material can be specially heated during the winter.
The house is completely transparent and is visible from everywhere. The barriers usually created by floors, ceilings, and walls in a home are nonexistent here. But the tranquil and sylvan setting of the house makes the whole lack of privacy thing a bit easier to swallow.
The most important thing about the house is that you'll get a unique opportunity to sleep at night watching stars in the sky. Throughout the whole day you can green nature either sitting or sleeping in the home. You'll get the chance to mingle with the nature staying in your own home.
