Standing on four spindly stilts with two protruding bushes on its roof, Terunobu Fujimori's Beetle House certainly is quite unlike much of modern architecture.

The works of Fujimori hark back to an age that was more attuned to nature, to a time long before the sleek cut of concrete and glass dominated buildings.

The quirky building was designed as an English alternative to the traditional Japanese tea house. Like its Japanese counterpart, its layout is simple and sparse, meant to provide a cozy respite from city life. To enter, visitors must climb a ladder to reach the small opening at the floor of the building.

Fujimori's Beetle House is one of the seven fully-constructed architecture designs at the V&A Museum's 'Architects Build Small Spaces Exhibition'.
