I must admit to a weakness to looking at piles of boxes. 

The  text in The Design Blog describes the concept:

Designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects, the collective housing project comprises five dwelling units, including the owner’s unit. Every dwelling unit comes with either two or three independent rooms of prototypical house shapes. The rooms on the different floors are connected to each other with outside stairs. When you pass along these stairs, each dwelling unit is realized by the experience of two rooms. The architects think of this collective housing as the miniature of Tokyo.
