The Camouflage House by designer Hiroshi Iguchi was designed as part of the Fifth World project which aims to promote ecofriendly and sustainable architecture. The home is made from natural materials including wood for floors, traditional Japanese panels for compartments and white canvas to protect the interior from excessive heat. Plants and some trees are integrated into the house, by leaving open spaces in between the walls to let them grow in the wide open.
