About this project
The project was started, when I went to Komoro, it’s 3 hours drive from Tokyo. When I came to the wood, which is an amazing wood, there were already 6 or 7 tree houses already. I discovered that my treehouse needs to be in the high point and needs to be a view house.

Concept

The project was started, when I went to Momofuku Ando center in Komoro Nagano, where is about 3 hours drive from Tokyo. My treehouse needs to be in the high point in the wood and needs to be a view house to over look the Akagi mountain. Back to London, when I was working in the Highgate wood, I discovered the idea of Birds Eye View.
I found two leafs on the floor on the wood. It was the one above the other and looked like a bird.
Leafs are falling down, but they are forming a shape of bird that will look out to the mountain.
This is how the process started, from the simple idea of two leafs together, and it becomes an about 7m of structure that contain people with stairs, banister and terrace.

How people enjoy the Birds Eye View

I want the viewer to discover. The treehouse is build with few angles, from one angle, if you come frontally, you will not gonna see a bird and you will see a leaf. It is gonna be in different tones of green and you will see it in distance and you will see the leaf. When you closer to the leaf, when you turns, you will discover that it is actually two leafs and the two leafs forming a bird and then you will discover there is stairs to go up and to view, and so it’s constant discoveries. I think few discoveries, few layers that I want to take the viewers, from the starting point, from leaf, to being inside the structure and to the view to look out
