Shadowcliff, Lake Michigan
Shadowcliff, a glass box home anchored into a cliff that juts out over Lake Michigan, was created by architect Harry Weese. It was initially built as Ben W. Heineman’s vacation office. Heineman was a Lyndon B. Johnson advisor. Despite its scary appearance, Weese made sure that it was solidly constructed and could resist winds of up to 90 miles per hour. Without a doubt, the floor-mounted glass pane that provides a view of the cliff below is its most notable feature.

Solvay Hut, Switzerland
This tiny little house was built as a haven of refuge for mountain climbers to quickly escape from severe weather conditions or to simply rest for a short while in the Alps, tucked away on the side of the Matterhorn. It is undoubtedly quite little, but if necessary, it could accommodate roughly ten people. In the event of an avalanche or an injury that necessitates being evacuated down the mountain, it also has an emergency phone line.
