People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Or pick their noses or walk around naked…or watch Swamp People on the History Channel.
No one should watch that.
This ‘transparent house’ is located in Tokyo. Designed by Sou Fujimoto architects, the multi-level structure occupies 914 square feet and features lots of ramps and cool built-ins.
And glass walls.
Now, your first concern might be the lack of privacy. And sure, there aren’t that many solid walls in the place. But I think you would get used to the constant exposure.
The Internet has prepared us for that, right?
Personally, I would be more concerned about the light. Unless the photos are hiding retractable awnings or shades, the sun would be your almost constant companion.
So. Much. Light.
The vampire in me says no.

We are smack dab in the middle of National Children’s Book Week…
What is your favorite?
My fav is The Poky Little Puppy, a children’s classic from Little Golden Books. And I’m not the only one who liked it. In 2001, it was the all-time best-selling hardcover children’s book in the United States, having sold nearly 15 million copies.
Of course, I didn’t know that back then.
I liked Poky because of his funny name and cute — if rather ginormous — head. I also liked his independence. In the story, he lags behind his brothers and sisters and ‘does his own thang.’ Sometimes it works to his advantage; other times it gets him into trouble.
Wow. Just call me Poky.
