I've seen various Architectural projects designed around nature, with a tree as the central focus.
This project in Kitasaku, Nagano, Japan, however has to be the most sculptural and elegant example.
The holiday villa shown below is a large shell like structure situated in the middle of a wood.
On first impressions the building looks like an alien spacecraft gently resting on the forest floor.
Built around a big fir tree, the villa is designed to become a part of nature, but with a permanence of a large rock or cave.
It's curved concrete structure protects its visitors from the regions' low temperatures and high humidity levels.
The advanced mechanical system provides a comfortable environment with beautiful interiors and picturesque views that never become dull.
