WTF is this thing for having entire walls replaced by floor-to-ceiling windows??? You'd have more privacy living in a goldfish bowl. In this design, even the bedrooms each have a full wall that's completely transparent.
And it's kind of funny having the "guest trailer" so far from the main house. Maybe all this person's friends smell really bad? At least it has proper walls, as best I can tell from the diagram.
Infidel753, one of the model home shows or Street of Dreams that I attended once featured a home with such a wall, but it was a new invention called electric switchable glass, much too technical for me to explain, that turns from clear to opaque with the flick of a switch. No window coverings needed. Very expensive. This may be the reason for all that glass, or the owners live in a very secluded area, or they're just happy exhibitionists.
A stunning design! In an expensive and secluded lot in a busy metro city, obviously. It would take a special type of person to want such a house, much less one with glass walls!
Taking the FLWright orientation of "Living in nature" to a new level, not to mention being a "house nudist"! Of course, it would also require a security system with cameras and alarms should somebody be approaching, for good measure.
The OTHER issues would be the cost of the HVAC operations, plus insurance. Heating costs during things like the "Cruz vacation in Cancun" could have been phenominal!
A stunning design. Someone really liked triangles. The house might seem less stunning when you're trying to get from the living room area to the bedroom during a pouring rain.

DeleteInfidel - Notice, too, on the diagram that all of the exterior walls are solid.

Oh, yeah. I could live there!

ReplyDeleteBe naked all the time obviously. If you get wet, *you* are waterproof. Set some towels on either side.

ReplyDeleteThis house certainly does intrigue me. Now I do love the pool, but is that a flowing river that is beneath the pool?
I do like my privacy so glass all around might take some getting used to, but the house seems to be surrounded by woods, so that's cool (I think)!!!
Really kind of interesting!!
