Eden in the city

Imagine living here!  A little slice of green slotted into a dense commercial district of Tokyo.  This des-res is a five storey townhouse fronted by a stack of gardens.  This a home and workplace for two writers, the gardens are interspersed with rooms on each of the floors, creating a screen of plants that mask the façade from the public's eyes.  I wouldn't want to live in the city again, but if I had too, then this little house would certainly be one to go for.
