An inspiring collection of 50 spectacular houses built almost entirely from glass



Glass Houses presents 50 stunning architect designed homes that utilize glass to maximum effect.

Each house is celebrated with awe-inspiring photographs that showcase the dynamic, light-filled living spaces that only glass can deliver.
