Invisible House, Passers-by Can't Resist the Temptation to 'Reflect'

Dream - A unique house in London has attracted the attention of British citizens. The house is dubbed 'London's Invisible House' because its walls are made of glass.

The house is located in Richmond, London, near the Underground station in the city.

Although it may seem like just a work of art, the building is an actual house. It was redesigned by architect and artist Alex Haw in 2015.

The residents began occupying the unique building in 2019 and have experienced a different living experience in the house.

Like the glass in a police investigation room, passers-by cannot see inside the house. On the other hand, the owner can see outside very well. 

This condition sometimes allows the owner to see people fixing their hair or clothes on their mirror walls and windows.

"Our designer, Alex Haw, came up with the idea of mirrors," said the homeowner, who chose to remain anonymous, to MyLondon in 2022.

"These mirrors make the house 'communicate with its surroundings'. You can see trees in the roundabout and clouds reflecting onto the house. We love the idea and implemented it," continued the owner.

Photos of the house went viral on Reddit, leaving many unanswered questions. 

Some people wondered how much time and effort the owner put into keeping the mirrors clean all the time.

While others wondered how they could pass by it dozens of times and not even realize it was a real house.

"I've been living in the borough for about 10 years and have passed by it more times than I can count and honestly never noticed it," commented a Reddit user. 

"Does anyone know about it? Is it residential or commercial? I've tried googling and couldn't find any information about it," asked another Reddit user.
