An ‘invisible’ mirror home hits the market for £15M – and it’s made of GLASS
An incredible "invisible" house made entirely of glass has been listed for sale.
The property, located in Joshua Tree, California, is made up of mirrors that reflect the rectangular building's surroundings.
Its reflecting surface disguises the home as it blends in seamlessly with the rocky desert landscape around it.
The three-bedroom property is certainly unique but it comes with a hefty price tag of £15million ($18m).
The home's futuristic design was reportedly inspired by the 2001 Sci-Fi classic A Space Odyssey.
