You know what they say about people who live in glass houses - especially when it's an elegant glass house like this one, designed by Dutch firm Wiel Arets Architects, located in Maastricht, Netherlands. This countryside house blends beautifully with its rural surroundings without compromising its contemporary style. The reflective facade creates an almost "invisible" effect that seems to absorb the lovely landscaped gardens surrounding it. Walls are few and far between in these minimalist interiors, offering large, open spaces. The white palette lets the focus lie on the home's interplay of shadow and natural light via large windows.
