    The tower bungalow at Kuma-village, Kuma Distinct, Kumamoto City, Japan. The project proposes to hollow out plywood sheets and stack to an elevation of 8.8m on a squared area of 3.6m on a side: the tower involves narrow interspace for sleeping, LDK, a library, and stairs. 30-degree tilted plywood sheets generate incident daylight and reflex and deflects the light using acrylic sheets. Structurally post tensioned stainless wires extrude to the foundation to support the structure with wather-resistant glue and rebars extended from the foundation.
