Transparent House in Japan




The phrase "there is nothing to hide" recently had a new meaning to it. Enter the Transparent House in Japan, that's what they call it. Japanese architects Sou Fujimoto Architects have built a house which is constructed entirely out of glass. During daytime, this Tokyo-based house offers plenty of light but zero privacy.

It is made up of 21 rooms or platforms. As the house was built on the concept of a tree, all the rooms are connected to one another by movable or fixed stairs, making one think that the whole structure is actually just one room.

The transparent house would be a great choice for family and friends to gather and experience what it means to get exposed without harbouring any fear. But finding somebody who is willing to spend a couple of nights there would be hard.
