Not many people would feel sufficiently comfortable to live in a completely see-through home, making this [modular glass house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vettel-haus) a reasonable alternative. At first, it might look as of the Vipp Shelter holds a completely candid composition; however, the two most intimate spaces are afforded great privacy.

Depending on the particular placement of this [prefabricated house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1807-holiday) – be it in a forest or in a field – your eye may not even be drawn to the tall black header on this contemporary domicile. While it's shorter than the first window-clad level, it actually functions as a second floor, concealing the bedroom and bathroom with [black steel walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-a-frame) that are crowned by skylights. It's the perfect setting for living a minimalist life amidst a gorgeous landscape.
