Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei runga i te tihi o nga Maunga e whitu o Norway, kei reira te whare ataahua o Tubakuba. Engari ko te whare motuhake, he mea hanga i te karaihe me te rakau, ehara i te mea e mohiotia ana mo ona tirohanga nui o te taone o Bergen i raro. Hei tae atu ki te mea hangai iti, ka hiahia nga manuhiri ki te kopikopiko i roto i tana tomokanga rite ki te awaawa, e tino rite ana ki te poka pango o tera ao. Kei runga ake i te taone nui o Bergen i Norway te whare Tubakuba, e whakamanamana ana i tetahi tomokanga tino rereke, penei i te porohita. I hangaia katoatia mai i te karaihe me te rakau, he koreutu te noho mo te po i roto i te whare mo nga whanau me nga tamariki iti. I hangaia hei wāhanga o tētahi awheawhe i te Kura Hangarau o Bergen, OPA Form Architect, ko Espen Folgero te kaihoahoa i muri i te whare whakamiharo. I whakauruhia tona ingoa e te tuba, nā tōna tomokanga piko e tuwhera ana ki te ngahere i waho. Ko te roto he mea hanga ki te plywood, i te mea ko te waho he mea hanga ki te larch tahunga kua tukatukahia ki te tikanga Japanese tuku iho e kiia ana ko Shou Sugi Ban hei aukati i te pirau o te paru. He mea motuhake tonu te tomokanga rite ki te tomokanga, heoi anō, he mea hanga i ngā rākau piko o te pīni me te rākau kore, ka huri hei hina me te wā. He mea hanga te ā-roto o te plywood, ā, he matapihi o te papa ki te tuanui i tētahi taha kia taea ai e ngā manuhiri te wheako i ngā tirohanga whakamiharo. Kāore he hiko, ā, he mea taketake noa iho ngā āhuatanga o te whare, he oumu rākau, he papa rākau kau, he wāhi moe i runga i te papa. Hei tae atu ki roto o te whare 14 mita tapawha, me kopikopiko katoa i te tomokanga o te whare 'roro mangu'. Ko te mea pai rawa atu, mō ngā whānau me ngā tamariki nohinohi, he koreutu te noho i te pō i roto i te wāhi tākaro. Ko te 14 mita tapawha o te whare e whakarato ana i nga taonga taketake, penei i te pounamu rakau, nga papa rakau tahanga me te waahi moe. Kāore he hiko, engari he iti rawa te whare, kāore e hiahiatia he nui o te whakawera. A ko te tirohanga e tino tū ai ngā manuhiri: ko ngā matapihi nui e titiro ana ki te pae maunga toka e hoatu ana ki ngā manuhiri te whakaaro...
Ko te taonga o waho-te-rori, i hangaia katoa mai i te karaihe me te rakau, kei runga ake i te taone nui o Bergen i Norway. I hoahoahia hei waahanga o te awheawhe i te Kura Hangarau o Bergen, kei roto i te whare noho te tomokanga o te awaawa. Ka taea e ngā whānau me ngā tamariki nohinohi te noho kore utu mō te pō ki te pārekareka ki ngā tirohanga nui o te raorao i raro iho nei.
