The Design

About Grand Tsuru Niseko Ski Villa

Matatagpuan ilang minuto lamang mula sa pandaigdigang ski slopes ng Niseko at napapalibutan ng mga silver birch, ang 3 eksklusibong ski rental properties na ito ay nagtatampok ng harmonyang disenyo na may pinalawak na alulod at magaan na istrukturang kahoy, na inspirado ng maringal na paglipad ng tipol, kung saan nagmula ang kanilang pangalan, Grand Tsuru. Bawat isa ay nag-aalok ng maluwag na living area na may mataas na mga bintana na nagbibigay ng kahanga-hangang tanawin, dalawang silid-tulugan na pinalamutian sa estilong Hapones, at isang master bedroom na may malaking Japanese tiled bath. Ang hagdanan, na naliligo sa liwanag, ay walang putol na nag-uugnay at nagpapailaw sa lahat ng sulok ng mga pag-aaring may skip floor.

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.
