1. The Glass House, Gloucestershire, UK
Nestled within a serene 850-acre private estate in the Cotswolds, England, this stunning contemporary residence was designed by the renowned Dutch firm, Mecanoo.
Hidden away on tranquil Huntsman Lake, the superb home can be accessed by a single bridge and is surrounded by decking, giving the appearance that the property is floating above the water.
Formed almost entirely from glass, the home was designed to allow lucky guests to experience ‘outside-in living’, connecting them to the stunning natural landscape around the building.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame idyllic views, while a simple colour palette inside allows the lake to take centre stage.
Inside, there’s an open-plan living area, an impressive kitchen and a dining area with a modern glass fireplace. There’s also a zen-inspired basement with a hot tub and sauna, a nine-seater cinema, and a games room.
Plus, the central staircase leads up to a roof terrace, which can be reached via an electric skylight and provides room for alfresco dining, sun bathing, and wildlife spotting.
Perfect for up to eight people, the home also boasts four spacious bedrooms. The master suite is a 500-square-foot oasis, with walk-in wardrobes and a luxurious bath next to the window, for breathtaking views over the lake.
Guests can also enjoy various amenities, including a heated pool and gym. Outdoor enthusiasts can even partake in paddleboarding, kayaking, and wild swimming.
