Check out this “transparent house” located in Tokyo, Japan

By  | 

Think you have nothing to hide? Try living in this transparent house located in Tokyo, Japan. Known as “House NA”. It has all the daylight you’d ever need, but ZERO privacy. The 914 square-foot transparent house was built by Sou Fujimoto Architects and is supposed to align with the concept of living in a tree.

“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.
