This modern glass home was designed in such a way that it looks as though it is part of its surroundings.
Much of this home in Larkspur, California is built with floor-to-ceiling windows that put the surrounding forests and mountains on full display. The kitchen and dining area of the home is almost completely encased in glass, making it appear as though it is actually outside next to the pool rather than inside the home. Parts of the exterior of this modern glass home are covered in mirrors, giving it an unusual effect that makes it look as though those spaces are actually pieces of nature.
This beautifully designed glass home casts away the need to adorn walls with art by providing nothing but beautiful views of its surrounding hillside.
