# Hazy Picturesque Glass Homes This Glass House Art Installation Uses Mist to Mystify By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-04-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-house-art References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/fujiko-nakaya-wraps-the-glass-house-in-a-veil-of-dense-fog/) & [theglasshouse.org](http://theglasshouse.org/) This [glass house art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible) by Fujiko Nakaya will be covered in a disappearing and reappearing dense fog. The house was initially designed in 1949, but now it will be used in a more picturesque way. The [original glass house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat) by Philip Johnson leaves almost nothing to the imagination. The home is a one level house with glass walls surrounding it, making the project entitled 'Veil' even more beautiful from the inside or outside. There has never been a [site-specific project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterhouseoyama) for the glass house, so this installation is one-of-a-kind. The fog will appear for 10 minutes every hour, and dissipate as easily as it appears. All the fog will be fresh water-based and pumped through 600 nozzles around the home.
