… the objective is to create an outstanding graphic element into the new housing estate - an object recognisable to the residents which will set the estate apart.

At a central location at the heart of the new housing estate, a glass house issues forth. An exact, transparent copy of the all-too-familiar terraced house. You can even walk through the house; enter the rooms, walk up the stairs. Large transparent photos of residents of the surrounding estate, taken in their own home, have been placed in the glass walls. The Glass House as a demological institute, as a public record of a late 20th century housing estate.
