Another design that ignores real life. Besides cleaning the glass which WILL get filthy, why would you put a hole in your house? How do you remove the tree when it gets old? How much extra energy is used to heat that room with that huge amount of glass? Very non-green, non-sense idea.
Yup - cleaning issues. An office I used to work at had an inner atrium to let in natural light into office. Looked great - but had a pair of ash trees that dropped leaves and after a few years it accumulates. Really helped the cockroach population (saw a few trophy "10 pointers" in there, ginormous bastards!) and was it ever fun to clean out. Yard drains were a bitch to keep clean too, leaves would clog the pipes, that was left to professionals.

Just tell "your people" to take care of it.
You do have "people" don't you?

More importantly, will your nearsighted dog try to 'use the facilities'? Or chase after any squirrel that scrambles down the trunk?

If you have a house like that, you aren't worried about the extra heating/cooling costs.
Drop a ladder down from the roof ...
Leaf blower hell.
Well, it's certainly no bacon bra...
