I stayed in one of the larger units in July in Terlingua, Texas. So cool. You absolutely cannot see inside. We tested it. 😁 No birds flew into the glass, but two ravens were obsessed with their reflections. They spent time yelling and knocking on the glass with their beaks. Having the desert as your view made for a very special experience.

Of course the best way to test how it handles the beating sun would be placing one in New Mexico, Arizona or Nevada. Either way, this is great to have them in North America, makes the transportation cheap and these look smaller than a mobile home, so it would be a bit easier to move. Great job Kerry!

in daytime, the glass is 100% fully reflective. At nightime, you can see inside with the lights on inside. Some customers choose a customization option and have OOD work with the glass maker St. Gobain to add a frosted glass decorative layer to the lower half of the glass walls in the bathroom, for added privacy.

They're really cool, but they're not really "homes", IMO. They're way too small to live in full time. They're more weekend getaways or ADUs, or "short term rental business" as pointed out. They'd need to be at least 2x the size to to approach being a *livable* home. They should really make them "joinable" so you could combine 2 or 3 of them and build out each section however you want, but at $125k for the Signature House, combining them is not cost efficient at all. The price for one is pretty ridiculous. BTW, I listen to your videos on full volume so my neighbors can appreciate the info as well.
