I love the design! Functional, maybe not, but it is very artistic, creative, and its rather inspiring! I had a question for Noah Bennett, the electrochromics u mentioned, is that the same material used for the sunroof on the Mayback 57 and 62?

I think it would be great for you to invest in electrochromics for outer walls and actually any area of the glass house. I have been thinking of doing something like this for years. This is a website for a product called SAGE glass

it is exactly what you need. It allows you do dial up or down the visibility through the glass with a small electric charge, similar to the idea of a dimmer switch only for visibility (think transition lenses on the walls). Imagine being able to go from the house the way it is now to being in complete control of all the walls transparency with click, perhaps on a remote or voice activated talk about futuristic shades. Regardless I think these designs are beautiful.

stunning design! i just can’t get around the fact that this makes lighting, electrical, cooling/ heating, and plumbing an extremely challenging feat.

why not use one way glass so you can see out but have privacy even if it still feels like you don’t. I saw a great public outhouse built out of one way glass, apparently, it still feels very public when you’re in there doing your business.
