About Infinity Àros

Tha an t-àros seo ann an sgìre mhonaidheil ceann a tuath Okinawa ris an canar Gushiku Mui na dhachaigh dheireadh-seachdain agus saor-làithean do chliant aig a bheil prìomh àros ann an Hokkaido. Tha làrach mullach a' chnuic a' toirt seallaidhean farsaing air a' chuan gu dìreach gu h-ìosal cho math ri faireachdainn nam beanntan àlainn air a chùlaibh. Tha an raon fuirich, bìdh agus cidsin a' sìneadh fad leud iomlan na seilbh, le seòmar-ionnlaid jacuzzi le seallaidhean a-muigh aig aon cheann. Air taobh thall barraid an t-seòmair-suidhe le sgàil phàirteach bho fhàradh, tha amar gun chrìoch ag eadar-ghluasad gu cruth-tìre nàdarra de chuan agus coille.

Beyond a living-room terrace partially shaded by eaves, an infinity pool segues into a natural landscape of ocean and forest. The second floor comprises private rooms as well as a full-width balcony with an outdoor jacuzzi, providing a different way to enjoy the stunning views. An exterior staircase leads to a rooftop terrace with concrete benches and 360-degree views of the mountains and ocean.

Research: We strongly believe that as remote work is normalized and the nature of both work and lifestyles changes dramatically, maintaining residences in both urban and non-urban areas will become a standard option for people around the world who want to vary their lifestyle according to the seasons and other considerations. Most likely, homes will need to serve multiple functions, including as offices, hotels, guest houses, and galleries. The long-dominant model of the single-purpose private home may well be giving way to a new kind of multi-purpose “public home” along the lines of what we have conceived in this project.
Inspiration: This residence in the mountainous region of northern Okinawa known as Gushiku Mui serves as a weekend and vacation home for a client whose primary residence is in Hokkaido. The hilltop site offers sweeping views of the ocean immediately below as well as the ambiance of the magnificent mountains behind it.
