Transparent houses in Japan

 

This conceptual idea of ​​the openness of modern society was implemented by the architects of the Japanese company Yuusuke Karasawa Architects. This transparent house in Saitama (Tokyo) was to show how the influence of modern technologies - the Internet, social networks, total state control and simplified moral standards make the life of an average citizen open and transparent.

At the same time, the complex internal structure of the building should symbolize the complexity of human relationships in society.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Climbing the tangled stairs and constantly bumping into the corners, we finally get to the top, where we are waiting for the void. Well, it’s quite symbolic, but if you look from a practical point of view, you would get a nice modern office from the house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But the architects Sou Fujimoto Architects did not build a conceptual house, but quite suitable for housing.

The main advantage of a transparent house, according to project customers, is the abundance of sunlight, and the abundance of prying eyes does not seem to bother them.

Glass houses of America

 

The concept of a transparent house has its own philosophical meaning. What Phillip Kay Smith the third wanted to say with his installation, one can only guess.

The house is called "Lucid Stead" and is located in California, in the Joshua Tree National Park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or maybe he didn’t make any sense in his work, but in any case, the old shack in the middle of the desert became a landmark of the park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is also California, but it real transparent house, designed by designer Stephen Herman in Montecito.

A good place in the middle of an oak grove and the house is very comfortable - five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a huge hall with a fireplace and other attributes of a millionaire’s life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The house was built for six years, which by American standards is quite a long time, and it cost not cheap - $ 35 million. In the house, even car parking is transparent. Our officials would clearly not like such a project.

Italian designers Ennio Arosio and Carlo Santabrogio proposed their concept of a transparent house.

They believe that such a design fits perfectly into any landscape.

According to the architects, everything should be transparent in the house

And even the steps

The main emphasis was on ecology, designers believe that the glass building is not able to harm the environment.

Dereto a house in South Africadeveloped by van der Merwe. Located near Table Mountain in Cape Town, surrounded by pine trees.

A 2,475-square-foot, three-story apartment building was designed to highlight the beauty and need to preserve trees in the country. The architects created five tree structures for attaching the roof made of light steel and glass. The body rests on a stone base. Since the walls of the house have floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the beauty of the surrounding forest can be observed from any room. Sliding glass doors open the entire wall so that guests can enjoy the wonderful fresh air. In the house, visitors can admire the collection of modern sculpture

Like transparent tree house architect Aybek Almazov

The practical purpose of the building is not yet clear, but the project is interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Russia, the idea of ​​transparent houses is not very popular, but European trends have reached our lands. The glass building of Andrei Tiguntsev in the Irkutsk region is a vivid example of this.

True, the house is not completely transparent, apparently the architect considered that it was already too much. So it turned out that the front part is European, more reminiscent of a chic office, and from the yard the house is like a house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Siberia, a truly unusual project.

For obvious reasons, transparent houses are built mainly on nature, away from prying eyes and so that nothing would interfere with admiring the surrounding landscapes. Here's how this lovely little house in Canada.
