Praise for Glass House

“An uncommonly handsome treatment.”~ Interior Design


Glass House showcases the infinite ways that glass can be used to created sophisticated and appealing homes, tracing its progress from the innovative achievements of Philip Johnson and Mies van der Rohe to the work of extraordinary contemporary architects. The beautifully photographed glass houses documented by Nicky Adams capture exterior space as living space, and merge the divide between the indoors and the outside.

The architects featured in Glass House explore the outer limits of technology and design, and their amazing creations, ranging from glass-walled conversions of a Victorian brick house in south London to Norman Foster's updating of a Riviera seaside villa, are nothing less than astounding.
