I’ve seen my fair share of eco-friendly, arboreal homes thanks for Trend Hunter, but until today, I hadn’t seen anything like this Asakusa Tree Home. Designed for a couple in Osaka, Japan, it may possibly be the first of many.
Currently being constructed by Japanese firm Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects, the Asakusa Tree Home is based on sustainable systems. As eco-friendly as it gets, visit DesignBoom.com for more info and images.
