Glass House showcases the many incredible ways that glass can be used to create sophisticated living spaces, tracing its progress from the first prismatic forays of the early modernists right up to the sparkling palaces of today. The beautifully photographed glass houses that fill the pages of this book represent some of the highlights of modern domestic architecture around the globe. These projects celebrate the ways in which glass provides a perfect canvas for a range of lifestyles and personalities, while revealing the creative ways that it merges the divide between the indoors and outside.
Really great examples of glass homes from all over the world. Even when they are basically boxes, there is always something different - good different - about each one. Minus one star because there are too many photos of interiors which are just for showing off good furniture design and the like. That should have been a different book. This is one book on glass houses that I'm pleased to have on my shelves.
