# Glass Fishbowl-Shaped Homes The Fishbowl House is Designed by Veliz Arquitectos Studio By Elena Rahman | Published 2021-07-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fishbowl-house References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/07/03/this-glass-fishbowl-like-home-has-us-re-thinking-about-how-we-connect-with-nature/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+yankodesign) & [arquitecturaveliz](https://arquitecturaveliz.com/) Designed by architecture studio Veliz Arquitectos, the Fishbowl House concept resembles a [large glass globe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-de-vidrio). The unconventional design includes two stories and merges indoor and outdoor spaces. Its unique design would allow natural airflow to move through the house to provide its dwellers with a cooling breeze. The Fishbowl House takes on the shape of a crystal ball propped on three wooden pillars. These connect the home's exterior with a steel fastener to keep it in place. In addition, the design calls for an [all-glass construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat) to increase the sense of harmony between the indoor and outdoor spaces, including a [semi-outdoor deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baan-oo). Wooden floors add a sense of warmth to the design, while an integrated fireplace heats the home for cozy nights of stargazing.
