Terrifying Tea House

The Takasugi-an teahouse not only caught my eye because of it's uniqueness, but also because of it's downright scariness. This quaint tea house, built by Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori, is not only extremely compact but it is also perched on replanted chestnut trees that have been cut from a local mountain. The only way to get in is by using free-standing ladders, which further add to its unstableness. The Tea house has an amazing view from the inside and when looking at it from the outside it almost appears to float in air as the thin trees that hold the house blend into the wooded background.

Although cool, things like this remind me why I drink coffee.
