Entry Description

This is a 3 story house of wooden framework construction method structure in a heart of the Tokyo, Japan.
To avoiding the confining and uncomfortable living conditions of the city, we tried to extend our consciousness beyond the borders of this physically tiny site (97-square-meters). This project designs that the house has no strict borders between inside and outside in order to better coexistence nature with human together. The 5-meter tall Chonowski's hornbeam tree, 3.8-meter ash tree and other plants give us a sense of the outdoors into the central space.
