hanegi forest housing

Shigeru Ban. Hanegi Forest Housing, 2007.



Architecture among trees.

Stair among with a plant inside looking out.

The project cleverly uses mirrors to partly disappear and dissolve boundaries. The ground is covered with organic materials. 

All units in this complex are in 3 stories to provide varied views and conditions on different floors.
For a little bit more see Shigeru Ban Architects webpage here.
