About Grand Tsuru Niseko Vila Ski

Terletak beberapa minit dari cerun ski antarabangsa Niseko dan dikelilingi pokok birch perak, 3 hartanah sewa ski eksklusif ini mempamerkan reka bentuk yang harmoni dengan bumbung berjurai lanjutan dan struktur kayu ringan, diilhamkan daripada penerbangan burung jenjang yang anggun, dari mana mereka mendapat nama mereka, Grand Tsuru. Setiap unit menawarkan ruang tamu yang luas dengan tingkap tinggi yang memberikan pemandangan indah, dua bilik tidur yang dihiasi gaya Jepun, dan bilik tidur utama yang menampilkan tab mandi berjubin Jepun yang besar. Tangga yang dimandikan cahaya menghubungkan dengan lancar dan menerangi semua sudut hartanah lantai selang-seli.

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.
