Absolutely stunning. I've seen similar glass concepts in Japan, but all of them are modern. Its the American vintage charm that really makes this place cozy.
I like the house owners . They speak so warmly about their home, rather than just talk about the size and " wow " and the superficial qualities . They have truly enjoyed their home and that's what good architecture aims act. :)
it is definitely a beautiful house, would be great to have the option for a smart glass, where with a click on a remote button for privacy in an instant.
So you basically have a glass house on top of an elevated platform, there are no immediate neighbours and the area is surrounded by trees. Additionally you have normal, walled basement.
They can’t stop being “melted” with nature. So much blessings in this house. Their hearts are full of blessings and love of this magic life and people ❤
I also lived in glass house. I like the openness feeling of it and yes you still have privacy by pulling the thick curtain. The best part of it that your house is blend through the surrounding area while watch it change throughout the year. It was like a living wallpaper.
Inspiring !!!!! You are special - if more people in this world regarded themselves as mere custodians, we'd be in a better place. Your home is beautiful !
Definitely a beautiful house; located in Olympia Fields, Illinois. I have been in this neighborhood for over a decade, tons of Mid Century Homes around. This was my favorite for so long, until it was purchase and painted all black.
This is a wonderful home!! I've always wanted a round, glass house about 20 feet off the ground. This would a wonderful second choice. On a bluff in the woods....Heaven.
This is hands down, no lie, my absolute dream home. Just like the farnsworth house, the windows make it look like your living with nature on a spiritual level. Mcm architecture always takes my breath away. Absolutely divine
I had the pleasure of taking my clients to view this stunning glass house a few years ago. Mid-century modern is my absolute favorite home design. They didn't purchase it but we all were impressed! They purchased a different mid-century modern home in the area.
Absolutely GORGEOUS but WOW.......living there would be a huge challenge for any average American who grew up in a standard house with solid exterior walls. That'd take TONS of guts to try & adapt to that. And while the change of seasons, sunrises & sunsets would be fabulous, even with two highly efficient new furnaces living in that house during a dangerously cold midwest winter would be another huge challenge. Single pain windows, no matter how thick are right next to worthless when it comes to holding heat or cold in during the winter & summer. Beautiful, nonetheless.
Id install electric frosting - the glass is frosted unti you send an electric current through it to clear it up. That way you can chose if you want walls or windows
Love the house, only add automatic curtain for privacy or install fountain that flow to the glass wall that give rain fall effect. I just love sitting infront my window during rainy day with a hot cup of coffee... so cozy.
I think it would look even better during summer - that wall of green surrounding you would be so calming. But, during winters, I wonder how bad insulation is.. bet it's freezing inside and the heating bill is terrible. These look to be original windows, not the highly efficient ones they have now.
Having grown up in a glass house, I completely understand looking over outside to see where the sound was coming from or the seasons. When looking for a home for my family, I look for the home with a treehouse or glass house effect. Having grown up in it, I never missed the privacy. In fact, I have my blinds open on all my windows in my homes....which does seem weird to others....but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Well I don't know what the glazing is on this house but she mentioned the heating bills used to be higher before they upgraded the furnace (I'd have to listen to the video again to see exactly what she said). In my inexpert opinion (I'm learning about high efficiency aka passive housing), but in my still learning phase, my understanding is that well made triple glazed windows are significantly more energy efficient than single pane as they help the building hold in more heat in the winter and more cool air in the summer. Single pane windows allow energy to pass easily from inside the building to outside, and vice versa via condensation, which is not a good thing when you want your home to use minimal energy for heating and cooling. Have you ever been inside in the winter and noticed that your windows have acquired moisture? That's condensation. In non scientific speak, the single pane of glass is where the warm air from the home interior meets the colder outside air, with moisture and energy loss as the result. Triple glaze windows often have either a gas or even air between panes of glass, which make it harder for energy to pass from inside the home to outside. Go to Ecohome's youtube channel to learn more about high efficiency housing and windows. They are a great channel and have a great website. If I were ever fortunate enough to own a home with lots of windows, I'd definitely make them triple glaze. Installing triple glaze helps the planet by reducing a home's need for energy over the life of the home. The home featured in this video is gorgeous, I like glass houses, but unless it's energy efficient it's beauty requires too high a load on the planet, especially in light of global warming. My opinion.
How and where can I obtain a house like this? I'm only 15, but for when I become older, I'd like to know, someone please tell me! I love glass houses!!!

It would be creepy waking up in the middle of the night and see someone outside looking in
Absolutely stunning.

its only fine for them as no neighbors around..
it is definitely a beautiful house, would be great to have the option for a smart glass, where with a click on a remote button for privacy in an instant.
Nice but I would not feel secure there. I also love the feeling of being private and secluded.

They mus be MAD to want to move out of this beautiful home!
This is so beautiful , thank you for putting this on here , I thoroughly enjoyed it.
omg this is such a Sims house
yes! that's what i was thinking about too. lol
all my sims house are see through glasseslike this, you know when you need sunlight cause lights block your view and don't care about privacy
I would get bulletproof and smash proof windows
Hmm, why?
You Tube
Not really. I think that stickers would be enough if someone would like to avoid crashing in to glass :)
It looks bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, if that even makes sense.
Inspiring !!!!!
You are special - if more people in this world regarded themselves as mere custodians, we'd be in a better place.
Your home is beautiful !

Utterly awesome. I'm not sure about nosy neighbours but having Nature on 24/7 display is truly epic.
Beautiful, the natural light is amazing!☀☀☀☀☀
Every thing is cool untill a stranger pops up lost
The background snow is so beautiful that no words could explain that. Masterpiece!
Love this house, happy to watch you guys has so much love and respect for this house! God bless you!
An example of a house that's reflects the owners , warm , kind and beautiful :-)

I feel the same way. I love this house and the Farnsworth house too and I hope one day to have a glass house of my own.
One of the reason why i have to be rich asap
love the owner n the glass house !

Do you eat dinner every night with a pack of wolves watching?
Absolutely beautiful. The landscape is perfect and the floor plan is so cool.
These people obviously don't throw stones at anyone.
This is a beautiful home. I love it!!!
Gives new meaning to the phrase, “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”.
something like bold, open and revealing living space, thats whats this owner wanted to be and living close to nature, awesome :))
I know it feels like somebody’s watching me...
This is my dream home!!!
Me too!
No! I saw it third?... Sigh... Whatevs. Fine, take it.
Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely LOVE this home.

Why are you moving?
+Judy Ehrle Kim wanted to get back to the Pacific Northwest and Jeff recently landed a new job so they made the move.
heating and cooling bills?
+noviceprepper53 That's what I was thinking😂😂
Too exposed... you can't walk around naked.... big minus
half naked doesn't seem bad
Id install electric frosting - the glass is frosted unti you send an electric current through it to clear it up. That way you can chose if you want walls or windows
The House is on a huge plot of land
Love the house, only add automatic curtain for privacy or install fountain that flow to the glass wall that give rain fall effect. I just love sitting infront my window during rainy day with a hot cup of coffee... so cozy.
The feeling that there are those that see you from the outside...
bet its scary at night
Imagine if there was a zombie apocalypse then
MIN YOONGI
Get rekt 😂
Omg I think like this everytime I see a house. twd have ruined my life.
Questions: 1. How do you keep the glass windows clean all the time? 2. What are the security measures taken for the house made of glass walls?
I like this house from every corner of it u can soak in the beauty of nature 🌹🌹
It's so beautiful💕 but I would not live there
an absolutely stunning home in a wonderful location
Very beautiful, but I wouldn't want to live in it.
Wow, that's a nice house. I love the simplicity and the view 💜
I think it would look even better during summer - that wall of green surrounding you would be so calming. But, during winters, I wonder how bad insulation is.. bet it's freezing inside and the heating bill is terrible. These look to be original windows, not the highly efficient ones they have now.
Love the glass houses!!! Being one with nature. Doesn't get any better than that.
ah the snow outside wow
I would buy this in a heartbeat if I was still in Chicago.
I wish I could get a home like that one day from the bottom of my heart.....
this is so amazing i wish i could stay here for a bit

wow nice house but I wouldn't want to slam the front door when I'm pissed at my hubby hahahaha
Wow! So beautiful!
Omg it’s beautiful! When did you say you were moving out? I love the little notes from the original owner. Makes one feel so taken care of etc.
Beautiful House.
If the world is safe enough to do like this , I will do it someday :/
That is the kind of home you pass on to children.

Stunning!
One word, WOW!!!

This house would be a hell for a teenage boy or a girl ....
Beautiful house and way of living.
God what a gorgeous home ,love it
So awesome, especially in the winter. Coming from an area without any snow. Big fan of builtins. Most newer homes do not have them.
Wow. Simply wow. Loved it.
Where is their garage
Hermosa , simplemente hermosa 🌼🌸🌼👍👍👍
This ia beautiful!
Was this house featured/used in a movie? I feel like I've seen this before.
I bet it's really cool (no pun intended) to sit and watch the show come down. I love winter as long as I don't have to leave the house. lol
That house is one of the most beautiful houses in the world
Beautiful home
i want this house soo much
I think you'd like it better if the windows were triple glazed.
What is the difference?

Bullet proof glass and 5% tint 👍🏼
This home is stunning! I would love it!

study work hard and believe me you will find a way....
Lovely! Very beautiful
@2:08, "EVERY WOMAN who has come through this house HAS BEEN ENVIOUS OF MY little VANITY table, and I will miss THAT most of all.
God I love architecture.
I am in love with this house!
My dream house. I wish someone will build this for my wife & I
How do you keep the house warm with all those windows??
Wonderful... Love glass houses
The glass needs to be upgraded which would help immensely. Plus you can throw switches to glaze them over.
i plan on doing this to my bedroom wall toward pool. entire wall from tie or DW ceiling or exposed if i go that way to floor.
Awesome. Just awesome. But cold winters would do me in.
What an amazing house!
it looks like a human Aquarium--LOL, its gorgeous !
My ultimate dream house! I absolutely love it
Magical couple, magical house
Lovely home
Wonderful home, I’d live there in a second!
I want that black leather, wood-backed lounge chair!
