    ^amazing!

    I dig the house, the room with the tv has amazing atmosphere. Shower is definitely awkward.


    I was in the glass business and I am always interested by this stuff. It looks like glass is non-insulated, which for a house with that much glass area, climate control would be costly. Just taking a guess, I'd say its at least 3/4" thick oversized tempered starfire glass. Just cost in glass alone could be 7 figures.

    My family friend's house in hong kong uses smart glass

    that ^ posted

    His master bedroom and washroom is separated by glass... and when he turns on the lights to the washroom the glass gets tinted for privacy... it was soo awesome.

    Adding a 2 million dollar Glass Grand Piano to the house would be SICKKKKKKK

    Now if you really want to see a glass house, including interior walls you should check this out: Bing Maps - driving directions, routes, and traffic

    Click to birds eye view and zoom in and explore the long house in the top left corner (on my pc at least). Way more than 3.5 acres and literally almost the entire thing is glass. As far as I know there is only one main way in and that is through a ramp that leads into an underground parking garage. Its my understanding that the previous owner was kind of a paranoid recluse that made his fortune off developing ideas, basically inventing and owning patents. When he moved he donated the property to Princeton university. The entire driveway is lined with cameras and he had security on site.

    Love it love it love it. Seen it before on Contemporist.

    I'd live in it in a heartbeat if I had $35M to drop on a house!
