An Eichler does not need to choose between transparency and privacy. The Property Nerds® Glass-House Privacy Equation explains how layered landscaping, architectural screens, courtyard walls, window treatments, strategic films and nighttime lighting can create seclusion without closing off the architecture.

The Property Nerds® Sightline Audit examines visual depth from the front door, atrium, kitchen and glass wall to reveal how furniture, landscaping, fencing and clutter can strengthen—or compress—the architecture.
