At one time I had one of these in my garden. Granted it had more panes of glass, was smaller and I called it a greenhouse but in essence there were few differences (other than price - I bet this costs). More seriously, I have seen a building like this used as an office to a garden centre, where it disappeared into the landscape and worked very well. I find it difficult to see working as an annexe/garden room - much less a single residential building. This is much the same problem I have with the huf-haus buildings; I expect they work better if you have it placed in a well screened, individual, multi acre plot. Bob said that modern architects don't give any thought to the way people live. Having seen many new and extended older properties before finally ending up extending where we are, we often left houses (particularly new ones) wondering why spaces were divided up in such a way to look attractive but be poorly utilised - vast hallway and tiny downstairs reception rooms as an example.
