glasshouses

Sunlit growing structures

Glasshouses are buildings made largely of glass, used for growing plants that need protection from weather—essentially greenhouses.

The British expression people who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones warns against criticizing others for faults you share yourself.

In British military slang, a glasshouse is a military prison, from the glass-roofed detention barracks at Aldershot.
