About Taki Disseny de Paisatge
Taki és un disseny de paisatge per a un terreny inclinat a Niseko, Hokkaido, Japó. El disseny respecta l'edifici existent i la natura circumdant. Es va construir una escala amb el mateix formigó utilitzat per als murs exteriors, creant una sensació d'unitat entre l'edifici i el jardí. Els esglaons de formigó estan disposats en mides i posicions irregulars, de manera que semblen surar per sobre del pendent. Es va formar una cascada a partir d'un rierol natural del terreny, mitjançant maçoneria de pedra treballada a mà. Flors de temporada vorejen el passeig i marquen les quatre estacions de Hokkaido.

- Unique Properties
- Taki is a landscape project that the designers for a site in Niseko. We wanted to create an ideal space while respecting the existing building as well as its natural environment. The design includes a staircase made out of concrete slabs, the same as used for the exterior walls. A waterfall was created by sourcing natural spring water. The walkway is lined with a great array of seasonal flowers to express the four seasons of Hokkaido.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Considering the large amount of huge stones on the site from waste materials and the presence of natural running water on the site, a waterfall, a landmark of this landscape, was created in front of the building using traditional craftsmanship. By daring to incorporate natural running water into the design as a waterfall, the impact of the landscape was further enhanced.
Concrete, the same material used in the construction, was used to create concrete steps with a sense of design. The concrete steps were designed to be out of balance with the slope, without any regularity.
The combination of different materials, such as masonry made of natural materials on both sides and concrete steps made of man-made materials, makes the space even more attractive. And the concrete steps made of man-made materials, making the space even more attractive. - Tags

- Production Technology
- Concrete was used for the steps to create a sense of unity with the architecture. The concrete steps were randomly sized and randomly placed to create a moving arch.
A waterfall was created by artificial means, taking advantage of the natural flow of the river.
Contrary to the surface's rugged image, soft stone was used for the approach on the back side to create a soft space. - Design Challenge
- A natural stream, which had been kept outside of the site during the construction phase, was used as a waterfall by a craftsman's suggestion during the landscape construction.
The biggest challenge was to balance the thickness of the concrete steps, the slope of the land, and the depth of the drain pipe.
Careful calculations were necessary because the slope of the land changes the strength of the water flow, and the slope disturbs the balance of the concrete steps. - Research
- Because the building is located on a steeply sloping lot surrounded by nature, we focused on designing a landscape that takes advantage of the nature and the slope, which is a blessing. The waterfall, a landmark of the project, is a one-of-a-kind waterfall that utilizes natural stone masonry, hand-
crafted by artisans, and natural running water. Soft stone and hard stone are used in different locations, and different materials of the same type are used on the site to expand the range of design.
The concrete steps, with their ingenious use of concrete, are made to look as if they are floating with a sense of massiveness, and stimulate a spirit of exploration.
The use of hard materials, while taking advantage of the natural surroundings, creates a landscape with a crisp design, a design that inspires exploration, and a smart design. - Inspiration
- Taki is a Waterfall created by a craftsman and owner who loves nature.
When the landscape work started, the craftsman though it would be a brilliant waterfall which had been let out of the site during the construction work, and proposed the Taki design using the stream to the owner, which was not in the original plan, and it was adopted.
The most difficult part was the positioning of the drain pipe that would create the flow of the creek, while carefully balancing it with the concrete table. - Project Duration
- This project took approximately five years from design proposal to completion. It is located in Niseko, Hokkaido.
- Operation Flow
- The landscape is so unique that it catches the attention of passersby, allowing them to enjoy nature in addition to its functionality and design.
In the place using soft stone, you can enjoy the atmosphere of ancient Japanese Japonisme.
The concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete, and the concrete steps are made of concrete.
The concrete steps are made of wide concrete, which gives the appearance of floating, so you can enjoy not only the functional aspect of climbing the stairs, but also the concrete steps themselves.
The waterfall in front of the building is made of natural running water, and the water continues to flow without freezing even in the coldest winter, providing a healing effect to those who pass by.
In addition, the landscape at night is very beautiful with effective lighting and a fantastic space, offering a completely different atmosphere! - Image Credits
