FAQ - Privacy in a Glass House - Although the house is 100% glass, 100% privacy can be achieved as all the walls have curtains which can be closed for complete privacy. We typically recommend having the curtains open to enjoy the floor to ceiling views of the natural surroundings, and achieve the intended feeling of the living space's integration into the nature surroundings, but all rooms (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) can be 100% private as you would need and expect.
