'Glass House In The Garden' is an apt name for the private sanctuary. Part tea house, part greenhouse, it provides a relaxing space surrounded by nature -- which the transparent walls allows people to embrace and enjoy even more. A special retreat, it was designed around the desire for the owner to practice the art of training bonsai trees.
Colin Flavin of Flavin Architects collaborated with Peter White of Zen Associates to create 'Glass House In The Garden.' Full of cultural reverence, this space ensures people are able to fully invest themselves in the experience while also providing an area to socialize and reflect when not caring for the bonsai trees. It's an area many people will want for themselves.
