The Design
About Grand Tsuru Niseko スキー・ヴィラ
ニセコ国際的スキー場から数分の場所に位置し、銀白樺に囲まれた3棟の高級な賃貸用の別荘は、『グラン・ツル』という名前の由来である鶴の優雅な飛翔から着想を得ました。軒下に長く伸びた外壁と軽やかな木構造建築が調和したデザインが魅力です。広々としたリビング空間には高い窓があり、北海道の自然を切り取った美しい景色を眺めることができます。光に包まれた階段が上下階をすっきりと繋げ、計算されたスキップフロアの空間構成により、建物が隅々まで明るく照らされます。

- Production Technology
- This project was designed using mostly the Building Information Modeling software Revit, with which the entire project was modeled in 3D and building approval and construction drawing sets produced, as well as the rendering software Twinmotion, with a Path Tracing rendering output.
- Design Challenge
- One critical objective for this project was to capture the enchanting views of the surrounding forest, while preserving privacy from the public road and among the bespoke properties. This was achieved through four simple steps:
1. Longitudinal building shape
2. Setback of buildings
3. Semi-blind wall on one longitudinal wall
4. Shift to open laterally the view - Research
- As our first ever building project with a traditional Japanese timber structure, we took special care and time to model the entire building's structure in 3D, including the concrete foundation, the timber framing, the roof structure, as well as all the assemblies, to ensure it stayed discreet and blended in the interior design.
- Inspiration
- Grand Tsuru seamlessly weaves together the grace of Japanese culture and the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. The name itself, meaning crane in Japanese, encapsulates the essence of the project. As a crane taking flight, the properties exude a sense of weightlessness of the traditional Japanese timber framing, accentuated by the extended eaves, and the striking verticality of metal cladding, tall windows, and natural wood louvers adorning the facades.
- Project Duration
- The project is planned to start construction in May 2024 and finished in November 2024.
The property is situated in Niseko town, Hokkaido, Japan. - Operation Flow
- This property is primarily meant for a winter use, as a ski rental property. It thefore boasts a snow shedding roof, covered balconies, a ski room and a garage.
Since the property is planned to be built in a cold climate area, a special emphasis was taken to ensure a warm internal environment, with increased insulation and underfloor heating. - Patents
