About Infinity 住宅
沖縄本島北部、グシクムイと呼ばれる山間部に建つこの住宅は、北海道に本邸を構えるクライアントのための週末住宅兼別荘である。丘の頂に位置する敷地からは、眼下に広がる海の雄大な眺望と、背後にそびえる山々の豊かな気配を同時に享受できる。リビング・ダイニング・キッチンは敷地の幅いっぱいに伸び、その一端には外の景色を望むジャグジー付きの浴室を配した。軒により一部に陰影の落ちるリビングテラスの先では、インフィニティプールが海と森の自然景観へとシームレスに溶け込んでいく。

- Unique Properties
- A large entrance garden greets residents and visitors inside the first-floor entryway, while the centrally located kitchen offers box-seat views of a peaceful courtyard. The living-dining-kitchen area stretches the full width of the property, with a jacuzzi bathroom featuring outdoor views at one end. 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.

- 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.
