THE
HISTORY
The idea was the brainchild of Gardian Glass, a famous manufacturer of high-quality glass windows, which designed this project to demonstrate that, with the right glass, it is possible to achieve the desired comfort regardless of the place we happen to find ourselves. This is why they decided to site the house in the heart of the Gorafe desert, with summer temperatures that can reach 48º C and fall below zero at night.
