As environmental awareness rises, a wave of green architecture has swept the globe, continuously expanding the influence of green living. A Kazakh architect, Aibek Almassov, has designed a transparent treehouse that is the closest to nature and the least burdensome to the environment. Not only is the glass house hidden in the forest, but a whole four-story-tall giant tree is also placed inside the home—a highly futuristic architectural creation.

This structure encloses the giant tree within a transparent glass house, allowing the tree to perform photosynthesis and bringing fresh air into the interior. The building is connected by a spiral staircase: the first floor includes an entrance hall, kitchen, and bathroom; the second floor is a living area; the third floor is a bedroom; and the fourth floor is a sunroom where you can bask in the sunlight, absorb phytoncides, and observe the ecosystem at the top of the tree.
