The transparent housing is made of extra clear glass: structural glass pieces are the basic constructing unit of everything inside the house, except for the ground floor. There are two offers: the 'Snow House', constructed of thicker panes capable of withstanding larger loads, which can be located in cold climates, and the 'Cliff House', constructed of thinner lighter glass elements, for milder climates.
