The special thing about this Japanese house, designed by famous architect Sou Fujimoto, has no walls as we know them. Instead, windows have taken over, turning all the walls into clear glass, and in effect making a glass house. The glass house allows a huge amount of light in, which makes it perfect for plant growers and people who enjoy a large amount of light. When it comes to privacy, large white drapes can be pulled sideways and block the view of a certain room, namely the bathroom and bedrooms. Would you want to live in a house like this?
