Modern single family house with floor-to-ceiling glass windows is located in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo, Japan.
Designed by Sou Fujimoto architects, unique house features strong metal frame, movable stairs, wooden furniture, and integrated parking space.
At night, “glass walls” are covered with curtains. [photos by Iwan Baan]

Very lofty and light… it would make a great art studio. An everyday house though… nah.

transparent bathrooms? lol it would be nice if its in somewhere with very little sun or else it would quickly turn into a HOT humid greenhouse

I think I’d be keeping a lot of those curtains closed all the time, not just at night. But I love the way there is room for everybody to have their own space, without taking up a lot of room. I’d hate to be the one who had to clean all that glass though

It’s obvious that “fondness for the extreme” is very part of the modern japanese society.

Does not meet code. Within 30 years, accidents will bond to happen, especially to children.

Cool to look at but impractical in every way. These never show the typical crap that people accumulate that make a walled house junky. lol. It also doesn’t show all the plumbing, ventilation ducts, wires and things that would quickly turn it from clean to ugly. Oh and the heat during the summer would kill! Totally cool but no thanks!

Wait till the Fat Lady Sings a Glass-Shattering Very High Note.
Do they have a house made of mirrors? Inside & Out?
From floor to ceiling, including walls, doors, windows.
It would be a hell getting out of that one.

What a cool idea – but a little extreme. I’m not sure that I’d like to have the world staring at me!
