A glass house nestled among the trees of California’s Berkeley Hills is attracting attention for its unusual architecture and creative history. Designed in 1972 by architect Andrew Batey for architectural photographer Henry Bowles, the residence was conceived to connect its interiors with the surrounding woodland. The two-bedroom property combines glass, steel and redwood in a design that makes natural light and the landscape central to its character. Now listed for $1.088 million, the home is being offered after more than two decades under its current owner. Its former photographic darkroom, double-height living room and distinctive glass façade add to its appeal. The property’s setting and original design offer a glimpse into how modernist architecture can balance privacy with an immersive connection to nature.
