An ‘invisible’ home made entirely of glass has hit the market at $18 million.
Nestled in Joshua Tree, California, the striking home appears to be a mirrored box reflecting back the surrounding desert scenery – blending seamlessly into the landscape.
Heat-reflecting Solarcool glass gives the home its unique look and keeps the interiors temperate, despite the harsh desert weather, and filters out harmful UV rays.

Sitting on 67 acres of land, the box-shaped home offers 5,500 sq foot of interior space.

The glass walls open on three sides for a novel take on the indoor-outdoor living concept.
Inside, a 100-foot heated indoor swimming pool is capped by a 224-square-foot projection wall perfect for screening films.
The home’s three large bedrooms each have their own en suite bathroom. The primary suite is currently equipped with a giant glass bedframe and features a 5-star-resort-inspired bath with soaking tub, floating vanities, and rain shower.
A world-class chef’s kitchen sports dual ovens, separate refrigerator and freezer storage, marble surfaces, and Miele, Sub Zero, and Wolf appliances anchored upon sleek concrete flooring, making ready-to-cater events a breeze.

Meanwhile an eco-friendly foam roof and solar-electric system make the house a model of sustainability.
The home design was commissioned by film producers Chris and Roberta Hanley – known for American Psycho and The Virgin Suicides – and was created by architect Tomas Orsinski.
It was reportedly inspired by sci-fi classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

With cameos in numerous film projects and more extensive coverage on Netflix’s The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, the home has been available as both a film location and a luxury Airbnb stay with a per-night price of $2,500.
A good mix of home and nature, the property is bordered by national parkland and a gated tortoise reserve, but it is only 10 minutes from Joshua Tree’s downtown.
