I'm always a fan of bringing the natural outdoors into the home. Somehow this looks like a museum setting rather than a home, perhaps because of the accessibility to the area. The table prevents climbing into the reading area. But I love the vista, nature is the best view ever.

I don't think I would feel comfortable in that spot. Sitting up against glass would feel strange to me.

Oh for heaven's sake, this is just bizarre...

@Bri369

Agree. Love the idea of a nook with an outside view for relaxing & reading, but I would not be comfortable leaning against glass with pillows.

I would raise the glass ceiling a little more and change the seating.

At night under the stars and moon would be nice.

I worry about leaks in one skylight - this might trouble me in a driving rain. You really need staff to keep the windows pristine.

I like it for my Yorkie, Khloe. She would love it.

In my family - the only one who'd take advantage of an odd space like that ... is my KIDDENCAT SHADOW - he'd make it his own.

@lolakimono I do not like it at all. I am wondering how I would ever manage to get to the window in order to read.

This doesn't appeal to me and in fact I wouldn't be comfortable reading in that area.

@lolakimono LOVE it. So serene and calming. Green is known to have a calming effect which is why a lot of medical offices are a light green. Sigh. I want that space, I really do. However, I would put a couple of really big pillows up against the window.

First impression: Bad idea!

It's impracticality for reading speaks for itself.

Remove the cushion, replace with live house plants of differing heights. Possibly, a decorative statue in there somewhere. Place a bench or low decorative table on the floor. The end.

Looks like a waste of space. I would need to add a comfy recliner to sit in while I read.

Kind of dizzying to me.

Looks like it was built in the 70's...not attractive or appealing to me at all.

It reminds me of being under a deck and in a jungle. I just don't like it.
