House Of The Week – People In Glass Houses Can Do Whatever The Hell They Want

Well, look, apparently money can buy anything.

This is architectural gem was designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects. Known as “The Glass House” its beauty covers almost 27 000 square feet of prime real estate in Johannesburg.

This, from Design Milk:

This modern mansion comes complete with an indoor pool, an outdoor pool, a gym, a garage for 12 cars, an art gallery, and a raised glass koi pond (although it’s more like an outdoor aquarium). It doesn’t matter what direction you look to, the view is more jaw-dropping than the next, making it the perfect glamorous, light-filled space the homeowner’s desired. The massive entryway features a stainless steel and glass staircase that hovers over a heated pond. Even though the master bathroom is made of glass, blinds can lower to create privacy while still allowing for ventilation and a view.

That last touch is critical.
