20 Stunning Glass Houses and Why You'll Love Them

Last updated on January 21, 2024

Glass houses feature amazing floor to ceiling glass walls and stand as a pinnacle of modern architecture. Here are some of the best examples.

These aren’t houses made entirely of glass, floor to ceiling glazing is their accent feature. Such houses have a lot of modern architectural interest and open their interiors to the eye of the beholder. Exteriors are no longer separate from the interior. Which means that there should be a continuation between the two.

We admire this style of architecture very much. And so we’ve made a great list of fantastic glass houses that admirably expose this modern feature. These houses are nothing short of stunning, and they provide huge inspiration to designers and architecture fans alike.
