Tree Houses by Takashi Kobayashi

Treehouse by Takashi Kobayashi

Takashi Kobayashi, a clothing buyer turned professional tree house builder, built his first tree house in 1993 on a piece of rented land in Tokyo. Since then, he has built tree houses all around Japan. Kobayashi sees himself not as an architect, but one of the “tree house people” who seek to coexist with nature through art and free expression.

What is it in tree houses that attracts anyone? I’ve come to think the answer lies in the vitality of the trees themselves. Everlasting life. ~ Takashi Kobayashi
