Glass House: A Family Home

I am impressed with how Tom Roszak uses a mix of modern design and new technologies to create a very livable, modern experience in the home. Kudos, Tom!

Award-winning Architect Thomas Roszak tells a beautiful story of building a home like no other through a series of interviews, step-by-step instruction and phenomenal photography.The vivid imagery allows you to experience the construction process firsthand. You learn about what it takes to create such a unique house that looks fragile from the outside but is about functionality on the inside. Roszak's transparency and genius shows as he shares his "castle" with readers. It's the perfect coffee table book that's sure to captivate and inspire conversation.

The photos and drawings are captivativing. I felt like I was able to clearly visualize the living experience that Rosazk enjoys in his glass house. While an "all-glass house" may not be right for everyone, the book is wonderfully inspiring for how glass can be incorporated into the home design process.

Glass house gives us an inside perspective on the quest to create a home that truly reflects - in form and function - how families live today. Tom Roszak, the author, provides great insight into the concept and design process, the realities of living in a transparent home, and how technology can simplify our lives. Glass house will make you question the "normal" conventions of interior and exterior residential design - a fascinating read.

What a fascinating book. Roszak does a great job telling the story of his family, as well as the work that went into building an extremely nice, and surprisingly warm-looking, home. You'll enjoy it whether you're an architect, family-man or casual observer; the window into the home is crystal clear.
