N House by Iida Archiship Studio is located in Karuizawa, Japan, a popular vacation destination. As the region’s popularity grown, the new buildings have damaged the forest. During the construction of this house, Iida didn’t cut any tree, he even planted more.
Not a single tree on the property was touched in the building of this house – in fact, we planted more. I even took pains to protect the natural mosses in the site. – Yoshihiko Iida
