House design glass roof.

Glass roofs need a minimum slope the absolute minimum is 1 so rainwater will help wash away any debris dust and leaves that settle there. Japanese architecture firm naoi architecture design office took a conventional silhouette and added inset flat fronted glass roof panels that look out onto an upper level terrace city and nature. On the upper level you will find the living and dining rooms thee kitchen as well as storage spaces. The curving copper roof over a transparent glass structure is what makes this house different from most glass houses.

In either good or bad weather you can spend pleasant hours outdoors without feeling isolated from the environment. A glass roof is a good solution for the garden and the terrace. A sliding door can take you straight from your home environment to being in the middle of your garden whatever the weather. The creative use of wood in exterior and interior space makes it even more appealing.

The roof rests on supporting poles. The home was designed on two levels due to the topography at the site. Designed by italian architect jacopo mascheroni it is gently curved and is a polygonal shaped glass house that sits on a sloped hill in lac lugano in switzerland. The glass facades reflect silhouettes of surrounding mountains and maximize the viewing angle.
