Glass Houses is an awe-inspiring collection of 50 spectacular houses, each meticulously designed by renowned architects, that have been constructed almost entirely from glass. This international compilation showcases a diverse range of architectural styles, from early modernist masterpieces from the 1930s, such as Philip Johnson's Glass House and Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House, to glamorous mid-century LA villas like Pierre Koenig's Case Study #22. Moreover, it features outstanding contemporary examples that push the boundaries of glass construction, making even more daring and innovative designs possible.
The houses featured in Glass Houses are located in various countries around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Chile, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, and Vietnam. Each house is celebrated with awe-inspiring photographs that capture the dynamic and light-filled living spaces that only glass can provide.
The architects behind these remarkable houses are a diverse group, including Tatiana Bilbao, Lina Bo Bardi, Ofis Arhitekti, Herzog & de Meuron, Hiroshi Nakamura, Kazuyo Sejima, Philip Johnson, Mecanoo, John Lautner, Richard Rogers, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Their collective expertise and creativity have resulted in a stunning array of homes that showcase the beauty and versatility of glass as a building material.
Glass Houses is a testament to the power of architecture to transform spaces and create breathtaking environments. It is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the art of design and the beauty of modern architecture. Whether you are an architect, a design enthusiast, or simply someone who enjoys exploring the world of stunning homes, this book will captivate your imagination and inspire you to think beyond the limits of traditional construction materials.
