House Designs Featuring Glass Extensions – Enjoy Nature From The Comfort Of Your Home

Adding an extension to an already existing residence is quite common. But building a glass extension is a whole different story. Glass is the perfect material if you wish to get in touch with nature and the landscape surrounding you but still to be able to enjoy the comfort of being indoors. You might think that a glass extension only looks good on a modern or contemporary home but, as you’ll see, that’s not necessarily true.
