Sustainable Modern Glass House and Timber in Spain this amazing modern glass house designed by XPIRAL Architecture sits high on a mountain in El Esparragal, Murcia, Spain, nestled among the pines for which it’s named. With sustainable design accounted for, the architects too took a modern, fashion-forward approach to the unique modern home design, topping it with a futuristic roof which folds over to conceal the home’s expansive windows. Enclosed in walls of glass, an modern interior design grassy courtyard allows nature to permeate the design. Natural light floods interiors, illuminating modern, industrial details like exposed beams, concrete and the contemporary framed windows.

Casa de los Pinos (House Among the Pines) proves that sustainable features need not play second fiddle to fashionable ones. Locally sourced building materials are used where possible, such as the rock fashioned into walls, and timber used to build the home’s pathways. And at the end of the day, the number of trees removed from the site was later replanted on the property.
