Visually unbroken horizontal planes passing through glass is a beautiful element. The place is serene and dazzling. A fantasy. The windows are double-paned in case anyone missed that...

What an absurd comment. I guess don't let the old folks or the sight impaired near the stove either! Lol, rediculous. The house is an amazing work of art. “Visitors who don’t know the place, who are middle age or have a bad vision or both are bound, sooner or later, to knock their heads into a glass wall.”

Plus, why not enjoy the world we all want to save by viewing it every day as it changes rather than some painted wall. I think this place would go great with my welcome mat. ;-) While the concern of energy efficiency is important, they do make windows that have a very good rating.

Very nice and ostensibly more functional.

Extreme maximisation of glass surfaces does not make sense energy-wise. Visitors who don't know the place, who are middle age or have a bad vision or both are bound, sooner or later, to knock their heads into a glass wall. Total lack of warmth. Will probably serve as an exemplar of absurd design later in this 21st century. Yet another example of an exercise in modernism that should not have left the studio…

Thats what would make it a home. Personally i LOVE this house. Im from the seattle area and my heating bill is high enough- so im guessing this ones would be pricey. I really wouldn't care if i lived here though, especially considering how much money you would need to have to live here in the first place :) Think i saw a fireplace though. Maybe. That would be a cheap way to warm it up a little. people keep saying it doesn’t look homey- but whenever you see houses on display they dont. obviously if someone moved in they could furnish it differently and add some pictures and personal items.
