Glass Walls Let the Outside In

Want an uninterrupted view to the world? Try a glass wall.

One result of going on the Modesto Garden Club's annual spring tour is the desire to create your own garden showplace. You start daydreaming about lush blooms, green, green grass, and shady trees. Then, you progress to thinking about ways to view your new garden from inside your home as well as outside. Windows alone won't be satisfactory.

Mexican architect Juan Carlos Ramos has a solution. He's designed a house in the shape of a pyramid that "combines clean white walls with partnering glass windows. One side of the pyramid is in turn completely encased in glass, allowing for uninterrupted views both in and out," according to highsnobiety.com. It's a design that definitely lets light in and allows inhabitants to enjoy the view no matter the time of day or the weather.

But you don't have to build a pyramid house to get the same effect. A bank of windows or a glass wall in a traditional home will give you light, transparency and a view. It will also give you a stunning home with great curb appeal.
