The Glass House is SetWood's ideal, ready-made proposal in collaboration with Kontio for modern family living. This contemporary Log Home redefines the relationship between humans and nature. Its bioclimatic design and the natural thermal mass of solid timber ensure maximum energy efficiency, while the comfortable, bright spaces with the irresistible feel of natural wood offer an atmosphere of absolute tranquility and health.
