    Fujimoto had been considering the possibilities of the tree as a style concept for years before designing House NA. His house H was built for a family of three living in a densely populated residential zone, where the architect conceived of this three or in places four-story house as a great trunk, with the branches taking up different positions with existences which are separate but which cannot be separated from each other. The realisation of this conception is a box-shaped building whose walls and floors riddled with square holes, in which clearly bounded space can only be found on the ground floor and the top floor. Staircases at a variety of angles provide access between the various levels and rooms, but at times the furniture also becomes a way of getting around.

    A Japanese architect born in with an interest in structures and essence. Having spent his childhood in the lap of nature, he has developed a keen respectful approach to bringing nature cover to humans. Having said that, one can point out that he has experimented with characterizing the aspects of a wood in architecture in various of his projects. His detailed attention to material uses and colour choice brings out the heart in a structure.
