Light is one of the most important features of any building – whether private or public, and natural light can transform any space. Increasingly, architects are designing buildings using expanses of glass to open up indoor spaces, to let in the light of the sun and the moon, and to provide an impressive backdrop to their architectural vision.
Glass House catalogues some of the most dramatic examples of the use of glass in architecture to bring the outdoors into a home or workspace.

It discusses the materials and techniques used, and the architects who conceived and constructed them. |
