Designed in the 1960s, it is among a handful of private houses created by Foggo & Thomas who were inspired by Californian architects in their penchant for glass and one-level-living.

这所玻璃屋设计于20世纪60年代，是福戈和托马斯设计的几所房子中的一员，设计灵感来自于加州，那里的设计师特别倾向于玻璃和平层设计。

The house boasts floor to ceiling windows in every room, with sweeping patio doors making its lush gardens all the more prominent.

房子里每个房间都有落地窗，一览无余的露台门使得苍翠繁茂的花园更加显眼。

Nestled behind electronic gates, the house lies in a ½ acre plot in a Conservation Area of the Green Belt land. Its owner, a 'well respected design and construction figure' has worked on its restoration for several years.

这所房子位于绿带保护区，有电控门，占地半英亩。它的主人是一个“颇受尊重的设计和建筑人物”，他对房子的翻新工作已经进行了好多年。

'To rectify the building’s technical deficiencies whilst retaining the visual integrity of the original design became the challenge,' he said.

他说：“在改进建筑的技术缺陷的同时又保留住原设计的视觉完整性真是个挑战。”

'This resulted in a major three-year long restoration programme which involved the deconstruction of the building back to the steel structure and replacing the floors, walls, roof and services with materials and products that met with the performance criteria of the 21st century.
