People Don't Realise This Giant Mirror Is Actually A House

People don't realise that this giant mirror is actually a house.

Local residents in Richmond, London are often seen checking their appearance in 'London's Invisible House', which features ginormous reflective panels.

The home is quite an enigma on social media, with one Reddit user writing: "Trying to work out if I can take selfies in this or if the owners inside can see me doing it."

Another wrote: "I've lived in the borough for about 10 years and have driven past it more times than I could count and have honestly never noticed it.

They also asked: "Does anyone know anything about it? Is it residential or commercial? I've tried googling it and can't find any info about it."

Other Reddit users remarked how the home 'must be a right pain to keep clean' while 'plenty of birds gonna be hitting that too'.

Elsewhere, another social media user called the unique design an 'eyesore', while others said the house was 'so quirky'.

The mirrored home, which is located on the busy A316 road by the Richmond Circus roundabout, near Richmond Underground station, is lived in full time by a family who wishes to remain anonymous.

The family confirmed to MyLondon that the property does in fact feature one-way mirrors, so passers-by can't see into their home when up-close, but the residents can look outside.

The family also hilariously mentioned how they often see people adjusting their hair in the giant mirrors of their home.

The family told the publication: "Our designer Alex Haw came up with the idea of the mirror. The mirror would make the house 'talk with its environment'.

"You can see the trees on the roundabout and the clouds reflecting onto the house. We really liked the idea and ran with it."
