Many of us wouldn’t like the idea of a transparent house, we all want to feel secure and safe in our homes. There’s a Transparent House In Japan built in Tokyo. This 914 square-foot transparent home was built by  Sou Fujimoto Architects. The house was inspired by our ape ancestors who lived in trees. While the house offers a brilliant array of sunlight during the day, there is absolutely no privacy.

“The intriguing point of a tree is that these places are not hermetically isolated but are connected to one another in its unique relativity. To hear one’s voice from across and above, hopping over to another branch, a discussion taking place across branches by members from separate branches. These are some of the moments of richness encountered through such spatially dense living,” says Sou Fujimoto.

“The white steel-frame structure itself shares no resemblance to a tree. Yet the life lived and the moments experienced in this space is a contemporary adaptation of the richness once experienced by the ancient predecessors from the time when they inhabited trees,”says Sou Fujimoto.
