  • Kim and Jeff Valles have called a glass house home for the past 10 years and wouldn’t have it any other way. “A glass home was pretty frightening in the beginning,” Jeff says, but now it’s the homes with solid walls that feel foreign to him. “You sit in someone else’s living room and you hear something and you turn, expecting to see out the window, and you look into a wall,” he says.

    I like the house owners . They speak so warmly about their home, rather than just talk about the size and " wow " and the superficial qualities . They have truly enjoyed their home and that's what good architecture aims act. :)

    So you basically have a glass house on top of an elevated platform, there are no immediate neighbours and the area is surrounded by trees. Additionally you have normal, walled basement.

    I've seen similar glass concepts in Japan, but all of them are modern. Its the American vintage charm that really makes this place cozy.

    I also lived in glass house. I like the openness feeling of it and yes you still have privacy by pulling the thick curtain. The best part of it that your house is blend through the surrounding area while watch it change throughout the year. It was like a living wallpaper.

    Definitely a beautiful house; located in Olympia Fields, Illinois. I have been in this neighborhood for over a decade, tons of Mid Century Homes around. This was my favorite for so long, until it was purchase and painted all black.

    I think it would look even better during summer - that wall of green surrounding you would be so calming. But, during winters, I wonder how bad insulation is.. bet it's freezing inside and the heating bill is terrible. These look to be original windows, not the highly efficient ones they have now.

    Having grown up in a glass house, I completely understand looking over outside to see where the sound was coming from or the seasons. When looking for a home for my family, I look for the home with a treehouse or glass house effect. Having grown up in it, I never missed the privacy. In fact, I have my blinds open on all my windows in my homes....which does seem weird to others....but I wouldn't have it any other way!
