Natural materials like Yatsugatake pine and chestnut wood enhance the space's warm, regenerative atmosphere, while large sliding doors open to align with the treetops outside, creating the feeling of finding shelter in a treehouse.
The design by Japanese studio Sobokuya, inspired by the iconic Kiyomizu-Dera Temple in Kyoto, features a raised stone foundation supporting the house, preventing moisture buildup and creating pathways for air circulation.
The foundation itself was crafted from natural stones, with charred wooden piles driven beneath them to support soil health. Pillars were carefully hand-carved to fit the irregularities of the natural stones.
The house features solar water heaters, a wood boiler, and a custom-designed wood stove, all chosen to circulate and conserve energy efficiently, aligning with the home's regenerative ethos.
