The Asakusa Tree House is the work of Japanese firm Ryuichi Ashizawa architect. Being built on a 30 meter square piece of land, the under-construction house gets elements from modern with traditional Japanese architecture, and the natural advantages of a tree-like construction.
The concept has intertwining structural columns to support slabs on each floor. These slabs in turn, have soil planned to grow local plants. The house is unlikely to have fixed walls, it will, as a substitute, have the traditional Japanese style movable walls, like the shoji or the fusuma. Architects hope that the building will be able to create most of its required energy, and that the generated energy would be circulated the same way as a tree circulates air.
