Local architect Richard Marker designed this glasshouse, which has wraparound views of the woods from all four bedrooms.
Its situated on a tree-covered spot in Downers Grove, which is around half an hours drive from Chicago. Marker created the property listed with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services as his own home, installing glass walls that bring the outdoors into every room.

For anyone who wants to further immerse themselves in the views, theres also a solarium and adjacent hot tub.
The Illinois propertys interiors offset the homes glass and steel construction, with white oak flooring and wooden ceilings introducing warmth throughout. As well as the open-plan living space, theres a steel spiral staircase that leads down to a basement currently in use as an extra entertainment room and bar.
