Just what I've always wanted... a hermetically sealed bedroom on display...

My gym offers an upgrade for a special training area and that's what it exactly looks like. All the rest of the gym members can stare through the glass, kinda like at a zoo.

No thank you for the glass enclosures and who's going to clean all those windows inside and out?

Those are two different bedrooms. Is this the latest trend? Why would anyone want to be on display, while in bed. (Don't answer that!)

Interesting. Not sure why it was set up that way. However I could get away from my cat especially in the mornings. 🙀

@lolakimonoHaving lived in Manhattan, I totally understand this concept. Floor space is at crisis premium in NYC. How to combine a bedroom with living space and not wall in an already small living space. Notice you can see through this bedroom to the window from the living space. This was a resolution to NYC living challenges. It allows light and the illusion of space. I would never do this in a country or suburban home, where the living space is not as small. But in NYC .....maybe.

I wonder if that is a sound-proof bedroom? That would make sense...about the only sense. If it was sound-proof then that would be good for a noisy apartment dwelling.

@Yes great creative use of space for studio or if one needed to create additional bedroom. I'd probably apply tint film or add art work to the glass.

I'd have to put up drapes or some kind of wall hanging to cover the glass so I didn't feel so "exposed". I know, I know -- that would defeat the purpose.

I kinda like it.

Nope, don't want to be "boxed in"

This look of this concept appeals to me. I can see it in a small apartment where you lived alone. Makes a small space seem more spacious. But, it is not practical - where do you put your clothes - no closet, no dressers or armoires. Sure would have to make your bed frst thing in the morning!

I like the 2nd photo better....a bit more space. I suppose if a person has very limited space, the glass would be much better than typical walls. You wouldn't do a lot of entertaining in such a small apartment, so it would probably work.

Looks like it's just a studio apartment that they put some glass panels in. I don't think it really solves any problems unless they had blinds or something on those glass walls to provide some privacy.I guess it would be ok if you lived alone. What's next ? See through bathrooms.

I think you NAILED IT.....PURRFECT for the cat owner that doesn't want to be awaken in the wee hours of the morning....

I wouldn't want to sleep in a cage!

What's the point of this? There is no privacy.

Are you kidding? One of my cats (the newest rescue) would still wake me up. He'd be ripping up the carpeting and jumping up at the glass, batting at it and I'd be flying out of bed saying "Stop that!"

Nothing stops a determined cat. I speak from years of experience.
