Window House

I'd like to live in Orlando with an all windows house.  You know, just tons of windows.  There's a house that some guy built, it is in Suffolk England and the majority of the house is windows.  He's the guy they're talking about when they talk about people who live in glass houses.

They commissioned the house to be built for retirement and he apparently wanted a lot of light.  Saying it has a lot of "windows" may not be entirely correct because it is really windows, it's more just glass.  Windows implies that the glass is creating a break in something that is opaque, but these aren't.  The only opaque things surrounding them is the frame of the house.

The way the design was done, as you will see in the photo, is they actually made it so the roof could slide over the glass portion of the house so you could have a cover when you wanted it - like in the summer when you don't want to retain the heat, and you can leave it open when you want like during the winter days. 
Truth is I love windows and I love this house.  I'd like to live in it.  And own it.  Forever.
