AMAZING HOMES

In Tokyo, Japan, there is a see-through house. It is like a normal


Japanese house but all the walls are made of glass. There is plenty
of daylight but no privacy. Architect Sou Fujimoto designed it for a
couple to make their home. He based his ideas on early man living
in trees. It wouldn't suit everyone but the couple who live there love
the feeling of being surrounded by the natural world. All around the
world, people live in homes made from shipping containers. Some
use only one container, while others are made from several
containers joined together. One house in Chile was built from 12
containers. They are cheap to buy and eco-friendly. They can also
be placed in the garden or drive as guest rooms, studies or utility
rooms. For an unusual holiday you can stay in an igloo, a house
made of ice. These can be found in several countries including
Sweden, Norway and Finland. They are built new every winter. Jenny
and Callum, visitors from Australia, told us, 'We slept in an igloo last
night. It's so cold here - minus 5 degrees centigrade. We used
reindeer skins to keep warm!'
