Taking the stairs can sometimes feel like a chore. But that's nothing for this Japanese couple, who navigate their four-story home by ladder.

House T by Hiroyuki Shinozaki Architects — also dubbed the "Ninja House"— has no interior walls, hardly any floor space, and only a few wooden ladders to maneuver between its levels.

Take a look below at the radical design.

House T is tucked between two other townhomes in Tokyo. On the outside, it looks like a normal home.

It was completed in 2013.



But on the inside, there are gaping holes in the floors and walls.



On the first level, there's an office and living room. Wooden stairs that double as a bookcase lead to the second floor, which requires a bit of a jump.
