15 most beautiful glass houses around the world

The three-story structure, which takes on the shape of a three-winged propeller, is wrapped in glass that mirrors its sweeping views of the Los Angeles Basin, unobstructed from the Getty Center to Long Beach, Century City, and Downtown. One of the first houses built on The Strand in the early 1900s, this Craftsman-style house has been fully remodeled but has retained enough of its original architecture and character to fully charm anyone who sees it. This is a pentagonal shaped home that is noticed by the front and back of the home, exhibits some of the most intriguing design and architectural efforts. The home inside, is an abundance of open living space that has very few barriers. The views of the beach and ocean cannot compare from this glass home when compared to the neighboring, traditional beach homes, who must feel a sense of jealousy over the beauty you get, inside and out of this glass home. Beautiful in every sense of the word, this magnificent, stark white beach house is so odd, it’s perfect.

Despite the very modern style of the house, the layout could easily be a colonial home, something Johnson noted. Built on a 62-acre site in the Dutch province of Zeeland, Villa Kogelhof was designed by Paul de Ruiter Architects as two stacked stories – one above and one below ground – as part of its mission to be an energy-neutral property. The ground level is topped by water, through which light filters into the lower level, which houses the entrance, garage, storage and workspace. The home was actually built as a luxury treehouse but boasts of beautiful modern conveniences, along with furnishings that are accented with warm tones throughout and wide open spaces for unobscured views of nature all around you. The home is worth $1,650,000 and is one of the most gorgeous glass homes anywhere. It sits on 40 acres of beautiful landscape and is dotted with other structures built afterwards.

The large swimming pool on one side of the house is another breathtaking view you get from throughout the home. Upstairs is where you will find the bedrooms, while downstairs is the main sitting areas and living space. You will feel like you are one with nature when you are in this house with limitations in views.

The house was designed with the box-theory in mind, creating boxes, upon boxes in various sizes and different types of materials, from wood, to glass, to stone. The home boasts of enormous glass windows that overlook nature from throughout the entire home. The home was designed to fulfill many aspects of life, in which it superseded. It caters to family life, entertaining, and connecting with nature.

It’s a sprawling and fascinating home where the dominant exterior is glass. The predominant architectural style featured here is modern, but there are some contemporary styles such as contemporary beach styles and others.

The main garage also serves as an event space and can be completely opened on two sides for through views. The reflective, opaque, translucent, and clear treatments are in fact specialized films that were repeatedly tested and refined until the desired performance and aesthetic was achieved. The visual effect of a mullion-free system was achieved through the development of a state-of-the-art sealant.

You will enjoy the architectural features of the open floor plan, the beautiful views of the landscape and the art that this home features. Not as much glass as other examples here, but there are sections with towering glass walls which gives this modern design a glass house of sorts. Check out this modern gem with loads of huge windows looking out over a clear blue swimming pool. Canny is one of the most popular architects in the world for good reason.

I love how the home opens up seamlessly to the small triangle pool. Hughes Umbanhowar Architects designed this Mid-Century modern style home in Southern California. The entire rear of the home is all glass looking out over a pool and trees.

Modernist glass houses with incredible design and architecture

The image, Burial of Phocion, depicts a classical landscape and was selected specifically for the house by Alfred H. Barr, Jr., the first director of the Museum of Modern Art. The sculpture, Two Circus Women, by Elie Nadelman stands opposite. It is a small version of a marble sculpture that is in the lobby of the New York State Theater (now David H. Koch Theater) at Lincoln Center in 1964.

At night be sure to light the fire pit on the deck and stare at views of the ocean or light a fire in the common area (yes, it does get that cold at night sometimes!). You can catch some rays on the deck or slide back the windows to open up the house but even if you just stay inside, the light exposure is such that all you have to do to feel the sun on your face is open the curtains. Containing four bedrooms and four baths, this sleek, modern property sleeps up to eight but has enough common areas for much more. The entire house is controlled by a Lutron smart system (thus, the iPads in every room) and the sound system here is my Sonos.

Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, the Glass House’s exterior walls are made of glass with no interior walls, a radical departure from houses of the time. Since its completion in 1949, the building and decor have not strayed from their original design. Most of the furniture came from Johnson’s New York apartment, designed in 1930 by Mies van der Rohe. In fact, Mies designed the now iconic daybed specifically for Johnson. A seventeenth-century painting attributed to Nicolas Poussin stands in the living room.

While one side is almost all concrete you can see the other side is all glass. Interesting arrangement of home exterior materials. I love how the pool fits into the nook of the home making it look like this home with extensive windows is sitting on water. Below you’ll find dozens more glass homes, but they aren’t from architects featured here so there aren’t links to check out more of the home.

It is one of the most innovative, sustainable homes built today, including the fact that this modern modular home was designed for easy assembly and dismantling. Another glass home in Germany, this one is located in Stuttgart and is a modern home that stands four-stories tall and is totally sustainable. It was built to be completely recyclable, and puts out zero emissions and zero carbon. This house reminds me of a spacecraft with the jutting second floor overlooking the valley. Towering all glass modern home with huge covered balconies.
