The owner of the Samurai House is a celebrated martial arts exponent steeped in the cultural mores of his discipline. He requested a small, simple house amongst the trees of a tiny suburban forest.
The result is a half-opaque, half-transparent macrocarpa box with an L-shaped mezzanine bedroom/gallery skirting the interior of its solid walls before penetrating them with narrow promontories poked out into the trees.
