# Transparent Sin City Abodes The Veer Towers Give Residents an Unfettered View of Vegas By Michael Hines | Published 2011-01-23 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veer-towers References: [ecofriend.org](http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/veer-towers-aim-to-be-the-first-truly-transparent-building-in-las-vegas/) & [murphyjahn](http://www.murphyjahn.com/base.html) Murphy/Jahn Architects designed this new [transparent set of towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huergo-475) for [Sin City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/las-vegas-museum-of-art). The Veer Towers will be a residential development made up of [non-reflective glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diller-scofidio-renfro2). The Veer Towers will have 37 floors and be able to house around 400 families. The transparent glass windows are designed to cut glare and provide a source of natural light. I love the idea behind the Veer Towers, but I am a little worried about the transparent windows. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas, after all. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Transparent Architecture:** Opportunity to create innovative buildings with non-reflective glass windows for a unique design aesthetic. - **Glare Reduction Technology:** Potential to develop new technologies that effectively reduce glare from transparent glass windows. - **Maximizing Natural Light:** Growing demand for designs that optimize the use of natural light through transparent architecture. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Chance to revolutionize building designs by incorporating non-reflective glass windows for enhanced aesthetics and functionality. - **Technology:** Opportunity to develop advanced glare reduction technologies that can be applied to various glass window applications. - **Real Estate:** Increasing demand for residential and commercial properties that prioritize natural light and transparency in their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Perforated Facade Urban Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veil-house.md) - [Highway-Side Narrow Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil-skyscraper.md) - [Warped Stacked Residence Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinta-do-rei.md) - [Diamond-Inspired Luxe Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-miami.md) - [Glass-Reflective Illuminated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-house.md) - [Concrete Residential Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huergo-475.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Pixelated Illusion Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-b.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md)
