BENGALURU: A captivating video showcasing the Crystal Hall, a striking glass house nestled in Angalapura, Bengaluru, has taken the internet by storm. Designed by the renowned architect Thomas Abraham, this 30-foot-tall, two-story glass house has earned widespread acclaim for its visionary design and seamless integration with nature.
Content creator Priyam Saraswat recently shared a mesmerizing tour of the property, highlighting its unique features and ecological significance. The Crystal Hall spans approximately 850 square meters and is surrounded by lush orchards and woods, creating a thriving ecosystem that supports local wildlife.
Innovative and Sustainable Design
One of the standout aspects of the Crystal Hall is its use of residential windmill towers that generate backup power and feed excess energy into the grid. The building’s double-layered, high-performance glass envelope provides excellent thermal insulation, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. Inside, the house features a stunning sunken living room, a well-like swimming pool, a grand gall, a dining space, a bedroom with panoramic views, and a beautiful terrace.
The video also highlights a lion sculpture inspired by the Narnia series, adding a touch of whimsical charm to the property. Throughout the tour, Mr. Abraham shares his insights into the design process and the ideas behind this eco-friendly and aesthetically stunning creation.

Viewers were left in awe of the design, with many expressing admiration for the harmonious blend of modern glass aesthetics and rustic charm. One user commented, “What a house—what we see in dreams is right out here.” Others marveled at the house’s unique features and the architect’s dedication to sustainability, with one user praising, “Kudos to architect Thomas Abraham for this stunning Paleo Modern Glass Home!”
Thomas Abraham, an IIT alumnus, operates two ventures: a classical liberal arts design college and a distinguished art, architecture, and design studio that has garnered international awards. His brilliant fusion of bold creativity and sustainable design has made the Crystal Hall a true masterpiece.
