“It is to live in a house like living in a tree,” says top Japanese architect. His futuristic skyscraper should be a white tree, but it seems rather to think of a pine cone. For the structure of the “White Tree” Fujimoto has worked with the young French architect Manal Rachdi OXO and Nicolas Laisne Architects.

The form of the futuristic building is reminiscent of a pine cone – similar to the scale are fundamental to the construction of large balconies in all directions. Although many balconies show the opening tap. So, you can enjoy throughout the day and enjoy the sun in the summer, all the balconies have been designed without a roof in the project.
