Ring Around a Tree
Ring Around a Tree is a small contribution to a historically complex space. Nearly fifty years ago the zelkova nearly died when it was blown over by a typhoon. Not only did it survive, but the tree has grown so large that two adults cannot clasp hands around its base.

Japanese house
Nakayama Architects reused and rebuilt the concrete part of the former house and built a completely new building on top of it. In order to make the connection to the second floor as natural as possible, the architects used a slope and this enabled the architecture to let its scene change occasionally.
