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.
