# Convivial Climbing Lairs The Three Way House by Naf Architect & Design is a House of Obstacles By Kevin Young | Published 2012-05-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-way-house References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2012/03/three-way-house-by-naf-architect-design/) & [naf-aad](http://www.naf-aad.com/) The Japanese [Three Way House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm) by Naf Architect & Design takes a bit of climbing and trekking to get around. As a child, I yearned for a home made out of climbing obstacles but sadly, i just had my bunk bed. For the lucky owners of this adventurous dwelling, ladders are climbed in the morning instead of stairs. [Japanese firm Naf Architect & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumagaya-house) designed a home in a neighborhood where old meshes with new. This single-family home looks rather average from the outside, but once inside it's mind-blowing to see the ample space that's offered. Certain areas have climbing walls, while other levels are connected with a ladder -- there's even one that leads directly up to the [spacious rooftop terrace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights). There's no need to go to the gym with the Three Way House, as the rock-climbing wall will provide plenty of exercise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Climbing Homes:** Designing homes with climbing obstacles offers a unique and adventurous living experience. - **Innovative Architecture:** Integrating unconventional design elements like climbing walls and ladders in homes presents disruptive opportunities in the architecture industry. - **Active Living Spaces:** Creating homes that encourage physical activity and exercise through features like rock-climbing walls inspires disruption in the real estate market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects can explore new design concepts by incorporating climbing elements into residential and commercial projects. - **Real Estate:** Developers can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and active living spaces by incorporating climbing features into their residential properties. - **Recreation and Fitness:** The incorporation of climbing walls in homes presents new business opportunities for companies in the recreation and fitness industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Climbing Wall-Integrated Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musa-apartment.md) - [Vertical Feline Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-tree-house-2.md) - [Multi-Level Japanese Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-hattoritenjin.md) - [Cat-Catered Large Japanese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-cat-tree-house.md) - [Geometric Cave-Like Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cavelike-homes.md) - [Staggered Floor Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors.md) - [Terraced Urban Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-minamiazabu.md) - [Inversion Living Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway.md) - [Climbing Plant-Wrapped Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nevogilde.md)
