Japanese architect was given 2 specific instructions for building this house:
- it had to contain a garage with enough place for 9 cars and the possibility of viewing one of them directly in the living room.
- a tall tree had to fit in the house.

Not an easy job but Takuya Tsuchida did it in 2000 square feet, and managed to satisfy his client!



he built a 2-story building with basement and an elevator to move a car from the garage to the living room.

I'm loving this kind of architecture but I'm not sure I would want to live in it.

 

Well......it is a nice house, but who the hell want a stinking car in their living room?????

 

that's really nice, love how simple it is.

 

replace the tree every couple years??

100% agree... Great idea, but really odd!

 

I'm about to put my motorcycle in my living room.

 

Nice house and all but why the tree?

 

kind of cool. i'd like to see the rest of the house.
