Transparent Houses, Japan
If you say you have nothing to hide, try
spending a few nights in the see-through house located in Tokyo, Japan. Built
by Sou Fujimoto Architects, this 914 square-foot transparent house was inspired
by our ancient predecessors who inhabited trees. While so-called “House NA”
offers plenty of daylight, expect no privacy here.
“The intriguing point
of a tree is that these places are not hermetically isolated but are connected
to one another in its unique relativity. To hear one’s voice from across and
above, hopping over to another branch, a discussion taking place across
branches by members from separate branches. These are some of the moments of
richness encountered through such spatially dense living,” says Sou Fujimoto.
“The white steel-frame structure itself shares no
resemblance to a tree. Yet the life lived and the moments experienced in this
space is a contemporary adaptation of the richness once experienced by the ancient
predecessors from the time when they inhabited trees,” says Sou
Fujimoto.
Inspired by our ancient predecessors, who inhabited trees, this completely transparent “House NA” in Japan offers you a lot of day light, but not much privacy.
